EMMA ROSE
YOU ARE THE ONE
16 MAY - 29 JUNE
Emma Rose explores sacred geometry, words, nature, and spirituality through hand-drawn artwork. Her work reflects a journey of inner discovery, inspired by sacred scriptures and poetry.
Each piece, from intricate mandalas to geometric patterns, serves as both a prayer and meditation—an offering of intention. Every line, curve, and colour is chosen for its energetic resonance, with metallic watercolours and pens on coloured paper bringing the work to life.
Inspired by ancient teachings and the healing energy of nature, Emma seeks to guide viewers toward deeper connection, offering a meditative space for growth, healing, and reflection.

Join Emma to view the exhibition and participate in a short ceremony to create a natural mandala in the community garden.
