Thriving in Chaos book

This book showcases all three of the art collections released in 2025: Luminescence, Straddling the Void, and BirdCore 2. Each piece has been assigned a poem inspired by it that reveals something about the difficult times we live in and/or how to find fulfillment in spite of everything. Once 2025 ended I realized that every art series I released that year explored some aspect of what it takes to not just survive, but thrive in chaotic and uncertain times like these. While Thriving in Chaos won't tell you directly how to find fulfillment, it will at least point your wheels in the right direction.

The book is in a pamphlet style, 22 full color illustrations, saddle stitch binding, 36 pages, 8.5 x 5.5 inches.

From the artwork called "Acorns 3:"

Ten of Pentacles,

Nine of Cups,

all keys on the piano

struck at once.

The wood cracks,

the sound leaks.

Help me choose

just three notes —

three coins

for a small commission,

three cups

to hold the wine

I only drink with friends.

One chord

is all I can manage

and stay intact.
