First sketch in Hong Kong 🇭🇰
It’s been a month since I’ve moved here and it has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I’ve been more homesick than ever even though my family is just a hundred miles away. Stern COVID policies have made country borders feel more rejecting than ever but I do recognize the privilege of being able to move to a relatively more culturally diverse city (despite feeling somewhat unwelcomed here.) I’ve been reminding myself that certain amount of pain is to be expected when you are trying to grow roots somewhere new. Thankfully, my brushes can always bring me back to a sanctuary of joy and peacefulness where I can find the mental capacity to appreciate the beauty I tend to ignore amidst my day to day (emotional) struggles. And for that, I am forever grateful 🙏
