on the mirror by rosa kusabbi

work in progress

The mural is a vibrant celebration of queer women, rooted in joy, authenticity, and quiet strength. Designed to uplift and empower, it features playful "if you know, you know" details - subtle nods that speak directly to those in the community.

Rosa Kusabbi’s use of bright, bold colour ensures the artwork not only holds space, but owns it—demanding attention while radiating softness and pride. It’s a powerful yet lighthearted homage to queer identity, capturing both resilience and joy in equal measure.
