Pattern Inspiration
Inspired by the hero of Homer’s Greek epic The Odyssey, Michael Suomi’s collection expresses the unexpected and tumultuous times we find ourselves in. Separated from home for 9 years, Odysseus’ arduous and perilous journeys to return, often upon stormy seas, parallels the challenges we all now face striving to either return to, or redefine, what “normal” means post pandemic.
