Laurindo Feliciano illustrates what it means to be happy for the Wellcome Collection.

What is it to be happy? This is the major question that Laurindo Feliciano was asked to illustrate to accompany an ongoing series of articles for the Wellcome Collection; The Happiness Quest.

Each image references the different focuses of the articles, from the pursuit of happiness to explorations into chemicals and psychedelics; Laurindo’s collages perfectly capture the precarity and nostalgia of the feeling of being happy.
