🎞 Hlašila o re Kahletja
(Hlašila says, slow down, invite ease)

Ke nna Sadiamme.

A woman of many names and quiet revolutions.
Each brushstroke, each breath,
an act of remembering and releasing.

My grandmother’s spirit whispers through the stillness:
Kahle, Sadiamme. Kahletja, Maratonyana.
Slow down.
Return to ease.
There is art in the pause.
Relaxing isn't resignation.

From the balcony, laundry flutters,
a gardener hums in the distance,
a fountain pours and the clouds float by,
and life continues - tenderly.
Here in my heart.

🎨 Work in Progress | The Joker

This piece has been years in the making, not just on canvas but within me, too. There was a time when picking up a brush felt impossible; when life and mental health took me into places, I did not know how to paint my way out of.

Finishing The Joker became a quiet reminder that even chaos can lead to creation. That art, in all its madness and colour, can hold space for both pain and healing.

So here is to coming full circle. To showing up again to my childhood safe heaven - this place of creation. To finding beauty in the mess. To showing up to the liminal space that is life- the delicate dance and bridge of what is hoped and imagined and what is. Here's to being. Being in the moment and season and feeling all life graces us with.
