Rise Calligraphy

At 35, Wesley was diagnosed with a rare form of glaucoma that left him blind in his right eye and with less than 40% vision in his left. Despite this severe impairment, he remained committed to his passion for Chinese ink calligraphy and painting. Refusing to let his disability define him, Wesley transformed adversity into artistic strength. His journey is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of personal vision—proving that true sight lies not in the eyes, but in the spirit.

礼 (lǐ) represents respect, sincerity, and the grace of thoughtful conduct. It reminds us that kindness and courtesy form the foundation of every meaningful connection. Each stroke flows with calm balance, symbolising harmony between self and others — a quiet tribute to the art of living with grace.
