Field Notes from the Cultural Apothecary

Déjeuner sur l'Herbe

At the edge of a sunlit field, a wooden table stands beneath a tall tree, yellow flowers scattered like laughter through the grass. From its branches hangs a chandelier with soft candles, swaying gently in the breeze. On the table - a vase of blossoms, a plate with a single mouse.

Across from it sits a fox, attentive, composed, as if waiting for grace to begin. The picnic of civilization has been reimagined; the guest of honour has changed.

Déjeuner sur l’Herbe turns the familiar into reverie - a quiet feast between wildness and ritual, where nature’s wit replaces human presence, and the air itself seems to smile.

Yoga Doodles

A quick, colourful series drawn between brushstrokes of more serious work - four little moments of movement, breath, and play. Sometimes a sketch is just a pause, a way to stretch the hand and the mind at once.

Art, like yoga, reminds us to stay flexible - in line, in thought, in spirit.

Urban Gardening

From the Brooklyn waterfront, the skyline of New York rises - steel, glass, and rhythm. Yet nature has begun its gentle return: green vines climb façades, gardens spill from rooftops, and the city breathes in patches of leaf and light.

In the foreground, among planters, a young woman bends to her work, tending to what endures and grows. Urban Gardening imagines a quiet transformation - where concrete yields to chlorophyll, and the pulse of the metropolis softens into something alive, rooted, and humane.

La Pâtissière

In the window of a seaside pâtisserie, a woman stands absorbed in her craft, adding the final flourishes to a wedding cake with a piping bag steady in her hand. Behind her, the turquoise sea glows beneath a soft horizon, while pastel pastries shimmer like small, guarded dreams.

Outside, a corgi waits, tongue out, gazing in longing admiration. La Pâtissière captures a moment of quiet devotion - where sweetness, skill, and sunlight meet, and even the smallest gesture becomes art.
