004 / Sha'an d'Anthes aka furry little peach
Introducing Hope Heads. A series where we ask brilliant minds three big questions about how hope shows up in their lives, work, and world.
Next up: Illustrator, author, and creative icon Furry Little Peach, known for her playful honesty, distinct style, and a knack for building genuine connection both on and offline. But what gives her hope?
In this short interview, she talks about holding onto hope as a catalyst for change, the community that fuels her work, and the beauty she finds in people turning the world’s rough edges into something softer.
1. What does hope look or feel like to you, in this moment, in this world?
Hope is the knowledge that things can change for the better. Hope is something to cling onto. Especially in times like this it’s necessary to seek it out and be optimistic that there will always be a sliver of it somewhere otherwise we resign to the fact nothing is worth changing. Hope is a vehicle to change.
2. Where does hope live in your work or your industry, and what could shift if we let it lead?
It comes from connection. I don’t think anything bad can come from nurturing/cultivating community on and offline.
3. What is one idea, project or person that is giving you a glimpse of a more hopeful future?
I love seeing people process the ugliness of the world through their work and turn it into something actionable, digestible or something that makes the world nicer to be in. I see that as a kind of optimism which is a beautiful part of the human condition.
