CHRYSALIS: Working Concept. We breakdown how we use our concept for a chrysalis down the street, with our seperate activities.

“When I sit on the curb beside someone, I don’t see brokenness — I see a chrysalises, lives mid-change.”

“In my work with people on the street, I see lives folded in on themselves — like cocoons waiting for light.”

“In the streets, healing happens like metamorphosis — fragile, hidden, and holy.”

“The street becomes a metaphorical chrysalis — a place of stillness amid chaos, where individuals begin to reconstruct identity and purpose.”

“Street work has taught me that transformation doesn’t happen in institutions alone; it happens in the quiet moments of connection, like wings forming in the dark.”

“Each conversation, each shared meal, is a slow unfurling — the quiet work of becoming.”

“My engagement with community members experiencing homelessness mirrors the process of a chrysalis: a protected space where vulnerability and change coexist.”

“Working alongside marginalised people, I aim to create a cocoon of safety — an environment that nurtures potential until self-determination can take flight.”

“Away from the streets, I witness transformation not through rescue, but through relationship — a chrysalis moment between despair and dignity.”

StreetShelter

“Community practice feels like tending cocoons: providing safety, warmth, and time for what is unseen to emerge.”

“Sometimes, my practice is simply holding space, like the silk threads around a caterpillar — waiting, listening, believing in what will emerge.”

Musical Mission

“In community practice, transformation often occurs in liminal spaces — like the chrysalis, it requires containment, patience, and trust in unseen growth.”
