In contrast, Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro’s works reference the iconic wallpaper designs of Florence Broadhurst, exploring the intersection of design, history, and cultural identity.

Their works serve as a visual commentary on how our environments are layered with both aesthetic pleasure and cultural meaning.
