Alight

A rectangular print sits on top of crumpled dark navy fabric with light-colored checks. The print depicts an orange paper lantern with two chidori flying across the face towards the left. The lantern is drawn in sketchy lines to depict motion. The print is signed along the bottom edge.

The print floats above white matboard within a black metal frame. Both the print and the frame cast shadows on the matboard.

Two linoleum blocks are inked up in the foreground; the right is dark blue and the left is orange. Next to them are two brayers, one with orange ink and one (extending out of frame) in blue.

Prints are lined up in rows across a wooden table. A stack of unsigned prints sits in the bottom left. A white matboard with a cutout frames on of the prints near the center of the image.

$10 from the sale of each print will be donated to Densho, an organization that preserves and shares the stories and lessons of Japanese American internment during WWII.

Chidori, or plovers, fly across the face of these paper lanterns. This imagery is inspired by the paper lanterns that decorate the Pontocho district in Kyoto, Japan.
