Leaf: This is my sister Anke's desk and next to it her pile of work from art school. I spent the day catching up on two years worth of art that I had missed. It was so deeply nourishing and beautiful. I don't think I can live without my sisters art in my life.  (Marrickville, Australia)

Rae: This hibiscus is so crazily intricate! What what what? Amazing. (Pang Mapha, Thailand)
