Care Package #12: Chand Chandramohan

Contained Joy

Fake plants from friends, real plants from friends, loved plants, dried flowers from circuit breaker, LED lights from shopee, terracotta paint from selffix.

Plunged into a world that became so tiny in 2020, joy seemed restricted. Yet, joy is limitless, and found a way to care so wide and deep. Care thrives and gives way to unbound joy, even if it is contained.
