Sweet Chilli Hecho en Mexico, Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Victoria

Defying the decades this old building wraps itself joyfully around a hectic streetscape corner. I see the beautiful underneath the years. Pattern, darkness, light. Its still breathing life and energy.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their deep connection to land, sea and community and pay respect to Elders past, present and future.
