About the Artists:

Yushin Kato:

Yushin Kato is an interdisciplinary artist and graphic designer based in Brooklyn, New York. Her work explores the interconnection between the natural world and the internal landscape. Through intuitive drawing and painting  botanical imagery is used to reflect the mirrored systems found in nature, the body, and the cosmos. Originating from personal inquiry, Yushin’s work is a return to embodiment and meaning-making through the tactile act of creation. Florals are used as both symbols and systems, forms that hold memory and mystery. Each piece is a meditation on the balance between structure and surrender, the micro and macro, the seen and unseen.

Chef Kumiko:

Chef Kumiko is a Brooklyn-based catering chef whose culinary style blends wholesome cooking with artistry, drawing from the mindfulness of Japanese tradition and the cultural diversity of New York City. With a passion for holistic nourishment rooted in health-focused culinary education, and complemented by extensive experience in graphic design, she treats each dish as a canvas where flavor, culture, color, and wellness meet in harmony.
