Alongside” is part of the Less Meat series, offering a heartfelt portrayal of companionship and the mutual respect we can cultivate with animals. This mixed-media artwork features a serene figure standing alongside a young calf, symbolizing innocence, trust, and the potential for a more compassionate relationship with the creatures who share our world.

The hexagonal patterns evoke the precision and interconnectedness of nature, reminding us of the delicate balance within ecosystems. At the same time, the luminous dots represent the ripple effects of our choices and actions. “Alongside” is a gentle yet profound call to reflect on the ethical and environmental impact of our food systems and how we can coexist in harmony.
