After a month’s wait, Nespoon finally made her way to Florida and decided to channel the hurricane’s impact into her art. During her week-long stay, she witnessed the beauty and resilience of the region firsthand. Though the signs of the recent storm were minimal—mainly broken branches scattered across the streets—the warmth of the local community was ever-present.
