I picked up the calligraphy brush again yesterday for the first time in a few months and the first word I started on was the Chinese character for I. There was too much water in the brush and so once I painted the lines for this character, they began to absorb out into the paper. My master would have reminded me to be more careful with my ink style and to pay more attention to the balance between water, brush, and paper.

There are moments when a season of work finally becomes visible.

Over the past several months, I’ve been navigating one of the most demanding and rewarding periods of my professional life: finishing a book, bringing several major publishing projects to the final stages of post-production and printing, opening a major new exhibition, guiding our creative agency through a successful transition in China, and protecting opportunities that matter deeply to me.

Yesterday, I spent the day planting the front garden.

On paper, it doesn’t seem nearly as significant as the projects above. Yet somehow it felt like the final piece falling into place.

While I’ve been building businesses, exhibitions, publications, and partnerships, Robert has been steadily transforming our home—painting, building, repairing, and creating beautiful spaces for us to grow into. Seeing the landscaping finally completed brought everything together in a way I didn’t expect.

Success isn’t only measured by milestones, launches, or achievements. It’s also measured by the life those achievements make possible.

A home that feels welcoming.
A community that feels supportive.
Work that feels meaningful.
Beauty that can be enjoyed every day.

I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have supported this journey, for the opportunities that continue to unfold, and for the privilege of building a life where creativity, culture, entrepreneurship, and beauty can coexist.

Sometimes luxury is not excess.

Sometimes luxury is standing in a garden you’ve dreamed of, surrounded by people you love, knowing that the hard season was worth it.

There’s a version of vacation that looks glamorous online… and then there’s the reality of trying to stay healthy, grounded, and focused while running multiple businesses from hotel rooms and temporary workspaces.

After a few days of celebrating our anniversary, eating out, loosening structure, and letting myself fully enjoy life, it’s time to get back down to brass tacks. That means grocery runs, a tiny cooking setup packed in my luggage, rebuilding my mobile office from scratch, and finding the discipline to create momentum again outside the comfort of my home routines and systems.

I think people underestimate how much energy it takes to continually re-create structure while traveling. Motivation isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it looks like laundry, meal prep, answering emails from a laptop balanced on a hotel desk, and choosing alignment over indulgence one small decision at a time.

But this is also what building a life intentionally looks like. Freedom without collapse. Celebration without abandoning yourself. Learning how to carry your center with you wherever you go.

Finished the monograph—and went straight to the margins.

Yesterday, I drove out to Beibei, on the far edge of Chongqing, where new artist colonies are quietly taking shape inside old industrial shells. Met with He Gong in his vast new studio—raw, expansive, and alive with what’s next.

These works are already in motion: Venice Biennale, New York, and soon—Sophia Grace Gallery.

Opening June 6. Stay close.

The sheer numbers. This was such a beautiful opening ceremony, all the dancers and paraders and cheerers….. loved it. And caught some early morning rays.🌞

Lately, I’ve been focused on building a life that can hold everything I’m asking of it.

The work. The discipline. The stillness.

Not rushing. Not performing.
Just becoming.



If this resonates, stay close.
