I was honoured to be invited to partake in this collab. After much thought and a rollercoaster ride of emotions that have come with this pandemic, I want to instil a sense of peace and calm. ‘Just Breathe’ is a phrase used when we want to let others know that everything is going to be okay, that life goes on.

Orange stands for warmth, strength, joy and creativity, a colour dominant in the Hindu and Buddhist religions, so let’s all have faith. The green fields with flowers are symbolic of the longing for this to be over, to experience freedom once again. The swirls are for the air we breathe illustrating the turmoil we are going through.
