In the Winter of 2020 I was having treatment for Cancer in a big hospital in Melbourne. Early every morning I would see hot air balloons floating about gently in the distance from my hospital room window. The elegant curves of the balloons inspired the shape of these earring wires and the definitely motivated me to get well and get back outside. Inspiration is everywhere.
