"This work is a simple little comic depicting a pygmy slow loris and their friend, a blue crowned hanging parrot. The pygmy slow loris, being one of the smallest and slowest primates, has some wisdom to share from its perspective, giving life to the piece. Remember to slow down every once in a while, or else you might miss something."
