Strike that chord— Issue 82, Creativity

An editorial illustration for a piece on mantra meditation — the practice of using sacred sound and repetition to calm the mind and restore a sense of inner steadiness. The article moves between the silent discipline of transcendental meditation and the communal energy of kirtan, exploring how sound, in different forms, becomes a tool for focus, healing, and connection. The illustration was developed to hold that dual quality: stillness and vibration existing in the same space.

All that Jazz - Issue 78, Escape

An illustration for an article on the therapeutic qualities of jazz — its improvisation, rhythmic complexity, and ability to reduce stress and deepen attention. The piece responds to the unpredictability at jazz's core: the way it moves between structure and freedom, and how that mirrors the wandering, then settling, quality of a listening mind. The composition balances energy with ease — absorbing without being demanding.
