Our Distilled Life
Collaborative work with Kari Russell-Pool

Our Distilled Life Series examines the individual amidst the complexity of societal and global challenges and distillates them into a series of vignettes within bottles. The subjects of these bottles are pawns in a larger game they do not control. These are messages in bottles: personal encapsulations that capture moments of time and invite reflection about fair play.
