In March 2020, Claire Garralon developed a ritual for quarantine: drawing the portrait of a primate every day, like a daily photo, their eyes highlighting the fragility of a not-always-flattering moment of frozen expression.


Naturally, she began wanting to make them speak. To give them a voice, ask them questions as if they were people, animate them like creatures of flesh and blood with hearts and souls.


She imagined that these primates were living either among us or in a make-believe land, and that someone—an anthropologist, perhaps—came to see them and ask a single question key to the period we are all living through: What does happiness mean to you?
