In the grand expanse of the cosmos, we are but one among billions. It’s a wild thought, one that I can never fully comprehend. Though seemingly insignificant, each of us is part of a vast tapestry. I turn to dotting to remind myself of this. We share a journey through space and time, connected by our collective impact.  I love the thought of how tiny I am in this magical, miraculous life. I am, we are, just one tiny dot—but every dot burns bright.

Friendship is one of the most beautiful gifts in life, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. It provides unwavering support in both joyful and challenging times. This sketch honours and expresses my deep appreciation for the unique friendships I've formed worldwide. Each and everyone of you is special & I will hold you deeply for a lifetime.

Life's journey is a continuous swing of highs and lows. It's an ongoing rhythm of ebbs and flows, bringing something new to the table every moment. Embracing this perpetual dance allows us to find balance and resilience, recognising that both joy and sorrow are integral to the experience of being human.

This piece was inspired by spending a winter in Scandinavia. The ghostly, moody light of winter there, even in its brief moments, casts shadows that dust surfaces and breath new life into objects. It's akin to a husky voice or a fleeting dance, drawing you inward to a place of vulnerability. This reflection leads me to realize that vulnerability is the essence of strength.

In the vast expanse of the universe, particles dance, their numbers staggering in magnitude. Minuscule entities, often invisible to the naked eye, form the foundation of all matter, from the smallest grain of sand to the most gigantic and distant star. Each particle, whether an atom or a subatomic component, moves in a ceaseless quest dictated by fundamental forces. Their movements, collectively shape the very fabric of reality, reminding us of the profound complexity and beauty that underpins the universe.

Every life is woven from a myriad of unique experiences, each contributing to our individual existence. The rich tapestry created by this weave tells the story of who we are. Every thread represents a different memory loomed from experience, a loom that is always working, always adding new threads, new memories to the tapestry, in the masterpiece that is every person’s life.

It’s simple, isn’t it? In a world where unkindness seems all too common, let’s remember that the simplest gift we can offer one another is kindness. Each of us carries our own stories and walks a unique path, and we can never truly know what someone else is going through. I felt compelled to include this illustration in the series, now, more than ever, the world urgently needs this message.

This is an ode to Australian animals, some of the most wonderfully bizarre and beautiful creatures you’ll ever encounter (though I might be biased). From kangaroos hopping and sulfur-crested cockatoos screeching to wombats waddling and platypuses platyposing, each wild Aussie is truly spectacular. Animals make the world so much richer, and it’s our responsibility to care for them wholeheartedly. Too often, we humans disrupt their environments, acting as bullies to creatures we should protect. It’s time we return the pleasure they give us by showing them the respect and care they deserve.
