Lily Okamoto and Yuri Davison are two emerging artists who share a deep connection through their experiences living abroad as Japanese women, and their shared passion for social justice and mental health advocacy. While they had never met in person, their friendship has been cultivated through their shared interests in human rights, feminism, and art. Both Lily and Yuri ground their lives in art, which allows them to breathe and explore the world around them.

Together, Lily and Yuri aim to create a harmonious balance of light and shadow, hope and despair, in their works. Our art exhibition promises to be an immersive experience that will transport you to a world of beauty and meaning.

About Yuri Davison

Yuri’s artwork, she embodies inner peace by welcoming positive and pure energy into her body through breathing. It is a deeply personal and reflective experience that offers a window into her own journey and that of many others.

About Lily Okamoto

Lily’s artwork in this exhibition reflects her current state of hibernation and solitude, as she patiently awaits the arrival of spring. In a world that values productivity and achievement, Lily instead chooses to focus on the present moment, letting go of any grand visions or goals. Through her art, she explores the simple act of breathing, finding beauty in the colors and textures that surround us. Her paintings are a visual representation of her breath, a reminder to slow down and appreciate the small moments in life. In this exhibition, Lily invites you to join her in a quiet, contemplative space, where you can breathe deeply and find peace in the present moment.
