TRUE BIRDS FLY HIGH
Depression has now sapped Rïden’s energy. He feels himself getting lethargic. Regret. Pain. Now depression. Eyes heavy with fatigue, he lays down in a grassy terrain. His branches extended, he starts to close his eyes.
He’s suddenly startled by a buzzing noise. Then he hears a voice. ”Get up, you have to fix this now.” He opens his eyes to find this hummingbird hovering over him.

Due to a mysterious occurrence, mankind's memory has been wiped clean of a group of people that look like us but whose extremities stretch to the heavens like branches from a tree. Through a series of Art projects for the next 365 days, Leah Smithson is documenting her investigation of what this occurrence actually was. In addition, she is creating a visual anthropological documentary of the Ishan's story and history. Resist + Remember. Follow this compelling story through pictures and interviews of the Ishan.
Leah Smithson is a Fine Artist that lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area. To learn more, check out www.leahsmithson.com/about.html.
I am enjoying this anthropologic journey! And am in love with this piece in particular… the ink over acrylic details = soft with hard edges… the color combination really pops. Keep up the awesome work! I’m intrigued!!!
