Our journeys in life are connected: we are born, we grow from infants to toddlers to preteens to teens into adults. The decades roll by, we reach elderly age, and one day we pass away. That being said, our paths differ in how quickly we reach our final destination and the complications we face along the way. “Connected in Our Journeys, Divided in Our Paths” is an ode to the human experience of going through life and how our health can change unexpectedly regardless of the age we are at. The twelve panels are based on the experiences of four family members of mine I designed after interviewing people related to them (from left to right): my maternal grandfather who unexpectedly had a stroke at 81, my mother who had three surgeries back to back starting at 41, my cousin who was diagnosed with cancer at 42, and my paternal grandmother who was battling alzheimer’s and passed away at 88. As much as we want to prevent aging, or however hard we try to stay healthy, some things are out of our control. The project emphasizes our morality and how beautiful, painful, and difficult it can be. Life is hard, but the memories and legacies we leave make it less so.
