This illustration project involved making a creative interpretation of a common phrase/idiom. Using the idiom “Bursting at the Seams,” the image shows a rag doll with its stitches coming undone and stuffing coming out of the seams. Surrounded by darkness, the subject sits beside a lantern on a step restitching its wounds. With the subject still smiling despite the life-threatening circumstances, the image conveys the idea that there is always hope for things to improve.
