Collection: Maria Makes
Maria arrived as an asylum seeker from East Timor with her son Helder in 2012. The road to PR is a long one and as a single Mum providing for her son, she wants to work and create a good and secure life for them both. While navigating different hardships and barriers, she crochets all manner of bright and colourful things: bunting, hearts, hair ties, the cacti... "I choose the bright colour, it is happy one. I am hoping you wake every morning, maybe you hang it in the window, on the wall... and see that light and it brings you joy."
