The silence and loneliness you reference in your poem comes through in your drawing.
Wow! Both the drawing and poem are so powerful. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us!
Erandi–you are such a powerful artist and scholar!!! I love how you combine the visual art with your poetry. I can really hear your voice. Your work really made me see through your eyes. Thank you for showing how art can be used to engage in climate action and community leadership!!!1
Erandi, your portrayal of the plume with different kinds of particles paints a nuanced, direct message about both pollution AND polluters. So cool
Well done! Sad and common sight there, in southwest Detroit. You see it so often, it barely phases you, and the environmental injustice continues.
Hi, Erandi! You are very talented in both writing and drawing! Did you write this text before or after the drawing? How was your creative process? Loved your work. 🙂
