Zara Picken currently lives and works as a full-time illustrator in the North of England. Picken has been recognised internationally by 3×3, Association of Illustrators, Creative Quarterly and D&AD and has worked with international clients, such as The Guardian, Waitrose and Wired Magazine. Her illustrations approach vast and varied subjects, exploring shape, colour and pattern.

Zara elaborated more on the project.

"I created these illustrations for an exhibition called "Support", held in Chicago earlier this year. Inspired by my experiences of helping a friend to recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I explored the concept of disconnection and detachment. I wished to communicate my belief of support being not just important, but essential to survival. Support facilitates focus, strength and identity."
