| Hello! I’m Paola Santos, a full-time illustrator and designer based in the Philippines. Deeply influenced by the internet and real life, I like to explore emotions and human connection through soft, bold, thoughtful work. | |
The Garden
The Garden is a part of a series on inner worlds and mental spaces. This was born out of a fascination with flora, how they could speak volumes and evoke a certain mood. It is the visual manifestation of my thoughts, feelings, anxieties, and how we could all find strength in vulnerability.
