We're told that hard work is its own reward, yet somehow every Monday morning feels like a punishment.

​

This illustration captures the universal struggle of the morning commute when we have to leave the comfort of home for another day at the office. The man trudges forward in anger, briefcase in hand, while a flowing mass of blue pulls him backward like an emotional undertow. The blue represents his true desire, the magnetic pull of comfort calling him back home. With every step, he fights the urge to surrender to that pull and makes his way to another 9-5 day.
