114 | Waiting for Phở | Hannah Aiello | $1400 | Watercolour on archival clay panel

‘Waiting for Phở’ captures the beauty of quiet anticipation at an unassuming pho kitchen in Vietnam. A young expatriate, barely awake, orders her breakfast with bleary eyes and perfect regional dialect. The fluidity of watercolour reflect the transient nature of her young life, where experiences blend into a tapestry of belonging and nostalgia.
