During my time living in Bangkok, the garden of The Seed Mingle became a quiet sanctuary. It was the place where I spent my pregnancy, met my child for the first time, and gathered the strength to step into a new chapter of my life. Among the plants there, the heliconia stood out most. In Thailand, it symbolizes vitality and protection— meanings that felt especially close during those months. I drew this piece to hold the warmth and energy I received in that garden, and to remember the days when life was quietly taking root.
