The giraffe.
It keeps its distance effortlessly—no overthinking, no endless analysis, no scrolling itself into exhaustion. It simply stands tall, observes, and knows when space is needed.
We, on the other hand, have made an art form out of overcomplicating things.
The Social Distance Expert is a gentle reminder that distance isn’t always disconnection. Sometimes, it’s clarity. Sometimes, it’s peace.
And sometimes, the wisest perspective comes from a little further away.

This painting is part of the Almost Human series.
I love painting for this series because it calms me down, gets me into flow fast, and brings out a playful energy in me.
It’s meant to be playful — but not shallow.
We’ve all had moments of real connection with animals:
laughing at them, finding comfort in them,
maybe even experiencing feelings of love or the sadness of losing them.
We are nature, whether we like it or not.
We dress ourselves up and call it “civilized,”
but we’re not that far from the animals we hang on our walls.
Same instincts. Same impulses.
Different clothes.
I keep it playful because that’s how I get close.
But when the connection hits, empathy steps in — and everything change.
We love to feel superior…
and then we turn around and behave like “animals”.
Funny how we say “behaving like animals” — but when it’s the other way around, we never say they’re behaving like humans. Think about it. What is most likely to happen?
So yeah — welcome to Almost Human
