We Voted, 2026 in its decorative rounded oak display frame

The aunties
have voted.

A return to Outside Sesame, and to two characters whose lives I’ve never stopped imagining.

A few years ago, I began Outside Sesame, a series imagining these characters and the world they inhabit. I still think about who they are, what they’re doing, and how they move through life.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to understand more deeply the importance of voting and the consequences when we don’t. This piece is a reminder to show up, make your voice heard, and vote.

Because we voted.

Thank you for looking at my work and reading my words. I hope this piece, or one in the future, finds a place on one of your walls one day.
