This minimalist installation transforms ordinary paper cups into a contemplative field of repetition and rhythm. Arranged in a perfect square grid, each cup becomes a vessel of light and shadow, inviting viewers to reflect on uniformity, emptiness, and the quiet beauty of everyday materials. The work plays with perception—what seems simple at first reveals subtle variations and depth as one moves closer. "Cup Grid" challenges the boundary between utility and art, offering a m

“Red Noise” Artist: Sienna Stripe In Red Noise, paint is no longer applied—it is released. This abstract expressionist piece captures the raw energy of motion, where black, white, and gray collide over a crimson field. Each drip, splash, and sweep resists control, forming a chaotic rhythm that speaks louder than words. The canvas becomes a stage for emotion, gesture, and gravity—where art emerges not from intention, but from impact. Cup Gallery

December, Snowy Evening Tonight, I watched something quietly extraordinary.There were no grand decorations, no overwhelming transformations—just small drawings, soft lights, and spaces that had long been overlooked. Sienna didn’t try to cover the sadness. She didn’t erase it.She simply added warmth where it was missing, like stitching a single rose into worn fabric. And somehow, that was enough to change everything. I realized that beauty doesn’t need to be loud to be powerfu

Today felt like a small creative bloom in the middle of my fashion show preparations. I spent the afternoon with nothing but a single cut‑out stencil sheet and a pile of different fabrics and textures. It was such a simple setup, but somehow it opened up a whole world of possibilities. I laid the stencil over silk, chiffon, faux leather, even a piece of metallic mesh. Each material transformed the shape in its own way — soft, sharp, dreamy, bold. It was like watching the same

Crispin’s Diary People see me as young, creative, and lucky. I wear my chef’s jacket, move fast in the kitchen, and let everyone believe I’m strong. But the truth is, depression has been sitting quietly with me for a long time, even on days when the food comes out perfect. It took me two years to say this out loud. I kept thinking I should be better by now, that feeling this way meant I was failing at life somehow. Staying silent felt easier than explaining something I didn’t

I don’t talk much about my youth, but tonight I feel like I should. When I was younger, I chased excitement without thinking about consequences—drugs, bad choices, and nights I barely remember. I told myself it was freedom, that I was in control, but the truth is I was slowly losing myself. What hurts the most is how easy it was to fall. I didn’t plan to become dependent, and I didn’t think one experiment would matter. But curiosity has weight, and even a single step in the w

Lumi’s Winter Diary Today, I went skiing through the snowy mountains, and the forest felt so quiet and beautiful. As I skied down, I kept thinking about the animals living out there in the cold, and how easy it is for people to worry that they might be starving. I used to think that giving them food sounded kind and caring too. But I learned something important today. No matter how cold winter gets, ordinary people shouldn’t feed wild animals. Animals already know how to surv

Today, I found myself thinking about unintended kindness. The Korean Demilitarized Zone was never meant to protect life. It was drawn to separate, to prevent, to hold fear in place. And yet, for nearly seventy years, that narrow strip of land has done what few conservation plans ever manage—it has kept humans away long enough for nature to remember itself. I have spent much of my career surrounded by restoration plans, budgets, and timelines. We argued over what to plant, wha

Tonight the kitchen smells like butter, cinnamon, and something warmer—purpose, maybe. I have been thinking a lot about Christmas this year. Living in this town, it is easy to believe that everyone is full, safe, and taken care of. The streets glow with lights, cafés overflow with laughter, and food is never far away. Yet today I learned that in some nearby schools, more than 25 percent of the students struggle with hunger. Children sitting in classrooms with empty stomachs,

Tonight, my sketchbook smells faintly of fabric and cinnamon tea, and Cuppy is asleep beside my feet. As I design his Christmas outfit, I keep thinking about how far he has come—from a shelter kennel to this warm, messy, love-filled home. Cuppy doesn’t know he was once unwanted. He only knows soft hands, morning walks, and that I talk to him as if he understands every word. When I measure his tiny chest and imagine him wrapped in something gentle and bright, I’m really design

“Hey, just letting you know—there’s a power outage in Vancouver today, and some schools had to close because of it. Hard to believe we still deal with outages in this day and age, but with all the trees around here, even a bit of wind and rain can knock them down and take the lines with them. So, as an electrician, I’ve got my hands full today working on repairs and getting the power back up.”

Last month, I walked through the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and its beauty has not left me since. The architecture, the light, the way the spaces embraced both art and people—it was more than a museum. It was a poem in stone and glass, a living testament to how design can stir the soul. Returning to Vancouver, I carried that inspiration with me. I have purchased two acres of land here, and I am determined to design a museum of equal grace. Not a replica, but a place where a

White paper cups are neatly arranged within the frame of an equilateral triangle. Objects often used once and discarded become, here, a structure—an artistic language—through repetition and alignment. At first, I wonder, “Why paper cups?” But soon the question shifts: “How can something so ordinary be so beautiful?” Each cup is light and hollow, yet together they form a triangle that feels solid and full. The rhythm of repeated circles breathes like a pulse, and the sharp tip

Today the rain came down like a million tiny rockets falling from the sky. Everyone was running with umbrellas, trying to hide, but I didn’t want to hide. I wanted to feel the rain splash on my face, like I was flying through space with my robots and rockets. I jumped on my skateboard, and the wet streets turned into shiny rivers. When I rolled fast, it felt like surfing on the ocean, but also like zooming across the stars. The puddles were planets, and every splash was a roc
