Alternate Selves
Ordinary Lives in Extraordinary Forms
Alternate Selves imagines the hidden lives of characters who exist just beyond the edge of the familiar. Inspired by a series of original doodles and transformed through illustration, these figures step out of stillness and into everyday moments filled with curiosity, friendship, wonder, and quiet purpose.
Together they inhabit a world where the extraordinary is treated as ordinary and where kindness, exploration, conversation, and small moments of delight become the stories that connect them. Part character study, part visual fable, Alternate Selves invites viewers to imagine the lives that might exist behind every face, every sculpture, and every sketch.
