I created these pieces to showcase the various ways in which cannabis is used around the world, and by including animals and motifs from each of these selected regions, I hope to effectively demonstrate both the unique differences that set each of these regions apart from one another as well as the many overlapping similarities. I want to show that, despite our many differences in appearance, gender, orientation, race, religion, nationality (and in this case, species), at the end of the day, cannabis use is something that we all have a shared interest in, and is something that has tremendous potential to bring people together in a way that few other substances, technologies, or even institutions that I have observed have the ability to do. I hope that these pieces will create a dialogue that will help to slowly, but surely, break down the stigmas that still surround cannabis use in many parts of the world to this very day.
