This is such an interesting and ominous premise!! The story felt unsettlingly immediate and real, and your art is absolutely gorgeous. It was interesting to see these huge events through the eyes of an ordinary person, who doesn’t have all the facts – their focus on the essentials made it feel very grounded.
The feeling I came away with was that awful things may happen but sometimes you just have to focus on what you can do with what you have, even if it’s just cooking some tomatoes into a sauce, and trying to stay hopeful for the future.
Thank you for sharing, I look forward to checking out your other work.
