Girls on Brooms by Erica Thi

Inspired by: Lunch Break by Greig Sanders

Artist Statement:

This poem was inspired by Greig Sanders’ Lunch Break, which features a blend of Ghibli influence, high-tech and futuristic mech and a picturesque scenery. This poem attempts to capture the wonder, unexpected adventure and tearful ending Lunch Break would surely evoke if it moved on the page.
