2025 has been a year of 🪭 𝒿𝑜𝓎🪭 or the relearning of what joy could be. another year of ending, as i wrapped up the unshakable destiny trilogy after five years. feeling like my grief, too, revered a different expression. 2025 has been a year of scents, of shredding, of friendship and family, silly cakes, red carpet, fjords, capybara, archive fashion, good hair by imoko, slow dinners, witchcraft, soft goth, lady gaga, fit checks at residencies.
true to a snake year, i feel like a completely new person comparing to the beginning of 2025. thank you for the beautiful friendships this year and meaningful encounters in indonesia, bangkok, london, bergen, glasgow, nottingham, manchester, sydney and at my homes hong kong and melbourne.
this year has turned out to be expansive both in work and life, in shapes that i didn’t expect. as the world burns i have given up (or trying to) old beliefs of capitalism that i knew i could not hack. instead, i’ve tried to return to a practice of small gestures, because i am well and truly exhausted. still figuring it out, i guess this recognition is what healing is supposed to be 🩵
it’s actually been a huge year / too much to mention & many new and old friends who got me thru one conversation at a time🫂 / the last one is a talisman for 2026 from billie.
