"In my art shows I depict coronavirus in the form of roses," she said.

"Because rose has been cultivated for the last 5,000 years during the ancient civilization of China, Western Asia and Northern Africa, which facilitated its diversification to close to 40,000 varieties that are grown on almost every continent both in gardens and urban settings hardest hit by the pandemic.""London Climate Action Week (LCAW) is harnessing the power of London for global climate action," according to the event's website. "The annual event brings together the city's world-leading array of climate professionals and communities. Now in its third year, LCAW creates space for participants to come together and find global solutions to climate change."
