Brushstrokes of Healing: an artistic journey through trauma and transformation in Taiwan
Moving from Australia to Taiwan was a significant transition this year, made even more challenging by the trauma I carried with me.

Imagine streets flooded with foreigners bending their heads down as they enter winding stores filled with bookshelves overstocked from floor to ceiling. The crowds that would dig through piles of toppling bookshelves or poster bins have now vanished from the streets of Tokyo, Chiba, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagano, and Okayama.
