𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 narrates how women evolve in spontaneous expression, alongside practical self-reflection and intentionality.

Miñoso paints sun-dappled wildflowers that are shifting and self-determined. Co thinks of her mother who works in the garden, weeding and watering it as she does to her home, cultivating and harvesting it. The shaping of a home, a situation, a relationship, or the self can be painful but necessary work

Their paintings complement each other to communicate that, within or beyond the walls of a home, in a vegetable garden or a field, the woman must be free to exist fully as herself.
