Ornate Extinction, 2022
Crochet on mesh backing • Mira Ghosh (HBSc ’23)
The piece represents a coral reef, which changes from colour to bleached as you move from left to right. It calls attention to the beautiful but deadly nature of coral bleaching in our oceans. The ecosystem of this coral garden is dying, and yet, the white elements are somehow just as stunning as the coloured ones.
A Love Letter to Asian Supermarkets, 2023
Mixed-media collage • Christina Dinh (HBA ’25)
Inspired by my love of Asian grocery stores, this piece reflects Asian culture, the beauty in the mundane, and human connection. It contains my receipt from Galleria, a list of ingredients to make Bibimbap, my favourite Asian snacks and ingredients, and a variety of people that I have seen in Asian supermarkets.
Travelling Frog, 2022
Digital paintings on canvas
Jinwen Tao (HBSc ’22)
Inspired by my pet Budgett’s Frog, I have represented our changing natural environment in a five-part series — from a well-preserved ecosystem to a landscape marred by human waste. Protecting our environment is a serious issue. By telling the story of environmental degradation from the perspective of a frog, the crisis becomes intimate and familiar.
