A cat in a purple tie and pointy hat yawns on the lower left. A couple of animated mice stand beside him – one with mouth wide open. A pair of strawberries float above the open mouths. A giant sunflower blooms behind the cat and mice, with an animated sun and wind in the sky. On the bottom of the image is the text: In a world full of wonder, who do you choose to be?

“In a world full of wonder” is a digital photo collage reflecting the reckoning that comes with change and how it often leaves us wondering how we choose to be present for ourselves, in society, and on the land.

The inspiration behind this project came from the ever evolving nature that surrounds me. I am constantly learning from nature and the way it effortlessly adapts to change. From the breezy beaches in Santa Cruz, California to the blooming sunflowers in my backyard, and the fresh strawberries straight from Salinas. These three small details represent the Central Coast and where my roots were established and continue to grow.
