Drawing inspiration from the The Holy Spirit, Toi embodies the spirit of rising, reinventing, and creating from the ashes of experience, trials and tribulations by way of God's grace, mercy and love. But equally woven into her work is the pink "Dreama's Rose™, a sacred symbol of love, creativity, healing, and divinity. The pink rose, a recurring motif in her artistic universe called The Realm of Orgon, represents spiritual connection, the blooming of self-awareness, and the courage to embrace one’s true creativity and spiritual gifts from God. It is a signature code in her work, a visual thread that ties together her storytelling, design, and artistic philosophy.
