Shooting Star - Illustrated Commentary on Medical Intervention and Vulnerability #1939653 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white ink drawing depicts a starfish with exaggerated human-like features-wide, teary eye, open mouth, and trembling limbs-as it’s injected by a syringe labeled “MBURAS”. Behind it, fragmented rectangular shapes suggest institutional or bureaucratic structures, while the bold handwritten title “SHOOTING STAR” anchors the piece in metaphorical tension between hope, crisis, and fleeting transformation. The style is intentionally rough and urgent, evoking activist zine aesthetics.

Used in editorial illustrations for articles on marine conservation, medical ethics, or socio-political commentary; often appears in independent publications, artist portfolios, or advocacy campaigns addressing environmental or health-related trauma.
