In 2018, while I lived in Sydney, in partnership with Art Spark Studio, I led an ink painting workshop titled “Protect Our Mangrove” with the City of Canada Bay. Before the art workshop, an expert showed the participants and me around the mangrove in Kokoda Park. With a root sample and a bit of water, she demonstrated how the mangrove’s root works like a snorkel. The ingenuity of nature struck me.
