Mariko Miyagi’s focus on their creativity through drawing brings a refreshing perspective to the table. The pacing is deliberate, letting moments breathe – you really feel the weight of their expressions as they create. There's this underlying theme of resilience and imagination that runs throughout, making it a meditation on the power of art.
