People Soup is a colourful illustration featuring jellybean-like people from around the globe. Inspired by my experience of moving to Dandenong, this artwork celebrates the community, cultures, food, music, and dance that helped me feel at home. The bright colours and playful movement reflect the energy and connections I experience every day.
