I live near Oakland's beautiful Lake Merritt, which has been a place of community, after-work sunset walks, fresh air (post-California fires), and self care for me throughout 2020. This image represents the beauty that persists in the darkness, the stillness and rest that exists between action, and continuous self-reflection that is necessary for growth and change.
These are a series of images of my cat, Angel, keeping me company (and sometimes interrupting me) while I work from home. As COVID-19 has greatly limited in-person interaction, 2020 has been a year of finding new ways of staying connected with and appreciating the people and activities most important to me. From joining in late-night Zoom calls with friends and participating in socially-distanced actions to simply spending more time with my cat, I am deeply grateful for the many ways my community has kept me grounded and helped me sustain radical hope throughout this year.
My partner and I have been sheltering in place with our two dogs since April. When toilet paper became a hot commodity, some friends shared their theirs with us so that we could take part in the dogs vs. toilet paper challenge. Thankfully our dogs aren't great jumpers, because it took all of the toilet paper we collectively had to make this video. For us, this year has been about slowing down, discovering and appreciating new things in our little microcosm, and finding the joy and humor we need to stay resilient. We are incredibly grateful, privileged, and humbled for our health, safety, and shelter.
