Statement: This film is an exploration in universal gestures within our natural environment and discovering peace, humor, and awe during these uncertain times. Hopefully, a Deaf audience will enjoy and appreciate the film’s meditative nature – something difficult to do with audio recordings on meditation. And, at the same time, a hearing audience will be inspired by the beauty and ease of creating natural gestures, which is the foundation of most sign languages around the world.

Painted referencing midcentury advertisements for flooring and furniture, this series of watercolor paintings chronicles the many conflicting trends of American interior design in the twenty-first century.
