No Mud, No Lotus takes its title from Thích Nhất Hạnh’s book of the same name, a teaching that reminds us that suffering and beauty are inseparable and that growth emerges through what we endure. In this painting, I depict myself alongside my sisters, our intertwined roots shaped by migration, resilience and quiet, inherited strength. Through this work, I reflect on how identity is formed within family and how, like the lotus, we continue to rise, carrying both the mud and the bloom. 🪷

Il canto delle api (The Song of the Bees) for the Primavera Community Exhibition at Artspace

Il canto delle api celebrates the gentle hum and harmony of nature in springtime. As a backyard beekeeper and gardener, I’m always inspired by the quiet rhythm of the bees as they move from flower to flower, creating a melody of movement, colour, and life. This painting captures that sense of joyful energy, the buzzing symphony that fills the garden when everything is in bloom. It’s a reminder of how the smallest creatures play such an important role in the beauty and balance of the world around us 🐝
