Lost Sailor is a poignant illustration that tells a story of loss and resilience. After my backpack was stolen in Buenos Aires, the theft took with it my journal—home to the original sketch of the sailor depicted here. However, fate intervened when I discovered a photo of the drawing, taken just a day before the unfortunate incident. This allowed me to breathe life back into the Lost Sailor, transforming a moment of tragedy into a vivid, digital representation. The sailor may be physically lost, but through this piece, he sails again in color and creativity. While my first experience in Buenos Aires was bittersweet, it has deepened my appreciation for the beauty and vibrancy of the city. I look forward to returning with renewed perspective and an open heart.
