"Dear World, Dear Loved One"

is a collaborative, interactive art installation that invites healing through creative expression. Rooted in the belief that art is a life force, this piece becomes a living letter — a collective message from the hearts of San Diegans to their loved ones and to the world.

Visitors are welcomed into a vibrant fall garden experience anchored by a towering handwoven bunny sculpture — a symbol of renewal, gentleness, and hope. Guests are invited to write wishes for the world and place them within the garden, creating a growing landscape of shared intention and unity.

The journey then flows into a second space, where participants engage with reflective watercolor work and written messages to those they’ve loved and lost — transforming grief into remembrance, purpose, and connection.

This tender, universal experience blends art and emotion, inviting people of all ages to pause, express, and heal together — one wish, one word, one gesture at a time.
