This piece represents the one-ness of our relationship with nature.” Art by Ahmad Hameed. “The climate crisis continues to take away our ability to be a witness to the natural world around us.

Notes
Ah, the joy of creating and sharing our creations!
Let’s celebrate- we made this! All the featured art pieces were created at the first-ever (ever!) Nature & Wellbeing Art Gathering in December 2025.
It was a delight to brush shoulders and create art side by side with fellow artists. We felt the solidarity, the shared space, and what it looks like to reimagine and recreate. Let me set the scene: a crisp soda water, all the cheese you can munch on, some chatting and some moments of quiet to tend to our art. Sometimes, the hardest part is eyeing up that blank piece of paper, but when the moment is right, the words, colours, lines, ideas, messages, calls to action, grief, and water drops flow outward. And then, the art is born.
In our shared bubbling excitement, we left feeling like this project has only just begun. We would love to co-host more gatherings with you all again in a heartbeat.
