I drew this from a place that is still hard to explain.
One of the heaviest reasons I moved to Bali was my mother. She was a cancer fighter, battling late-stage ovarian cancer and breast cancer, and watching her go through that changed the way I understood love.
For this Beak, I chose the colors of a flamingo. Flamingo parents can lose part of their pink while feeding their young, and that felt like the closest image to motherhood. A love that gives so much of itself, even its own color.
So I dressed her in Balinese women’s traditional attire, inspired by Payas Agung, with Ulun Danu Beratan behind her. I have always been captivated by Bali, by its culture, its beauty, and the way life here feels deeply rooted in meaning. Living here had always been something I quietly wished for.
This piece is about where I am now and the mother who carried me before Bali ever did.
Wherever you are now, Mom, I hope this piece carries a little bit of my love back to you. I love you, always🤍

gm, what’s your kind of evening?
mine is good views, better food, random talks, and realizing it’s never really about the place.
it’s about who you’re with.
