Art as Resistance: January 2026

✶ About Art as Resistance

Art as Resistance is a personal commitment I made at the start of 2025: to keep creating no matter how uncertain or heavy the world feels. Each month, I make something — in any medium — as an act of perseverance and defiance against stagnation or despair. There are no rules for what form it takes, only the intention to stay present, to feel, and to keep making.


January 2026 might have been the coldest and snowiest month in NYC history, if not in the top five. After not seeing significant snow the last five years, it seems we’re all a little out of practice. Since I’ve been spending a lot more time indoors (everything is still covered in 4” - 14” of snow with a crisp shiny layer of ICE on top) my creativity has had to get… creative. I finished knitting a small Sophie Scarf, managed to snag the dreamiest coat from Sezane’s third collaboration with Sea NY, and romanticized my countertops with all my favorite things.
