Chuu Wai - I Was Always Here item
Chuu Wai - I Was Always Here
£170

She is not asking for permission. She never was. The guardian spirits surround her-ဘီလူး/ Balu figures, protectors, warriors of myth and sacred tradition. And yet she is the most powerful presence in the frame. They orbit her. She does not notice them. Or perhaps she commands them. She holds her cheroot the way someone holds authority. Naturally. As if it was never something she had to claim. This work is about the women history forgot to document but never managed to erase. They were always there, at the centre of everything, completely unbothered by the forces that surrounded them. We were just not looking. Now we are.

Chuu Wai - Fear No More item
Chuu Wai - Fear No More
£170

Fear does not disappear. It just stops being the one in charge. This work is about what women pass to each other when no one is watching. The quiet knowledge that the most dangerous things in life can be handled, held, even controlled, not by eliminating the danger but by refusing to let it eliminate you. The words repeat around the golden circle not as a wish. As a declaration. Something already decided, long before this moment. Fear no more.

Hsu Yadanar Htet - Changing Lives to change a nation item
Hsu Yadanar Htet - Changing Lives to change a nation
£30

This artwork reflects how Prospect Burma has changed my life and the lives of many others, giving us the opportunity to learn, grow, and help build a better future for Myanmar.

Before becoming a Prospect Burma scholar, I faced uncertainty, fear, and self-doubt. Now, I have a clearer path and more confidence in myself. I have learned to overcome my fears, take responsibility, and step up to contribute to my community in ways I once thought I could never do.

Each peacock feather, made from a book, represents a scholar, their story, journey, and impact on their community. Together, these feathers show how one opportunity can create a ripple of change.

Hsu Yadanar Htet - Prospect Peacock item
Hsu Yadanar Htet - Prospect Peacock
£30

Inspired by the Prospect Burma logo and Myanmar Kanote, I created this artwork to honour Prospect Burma’s 37 years of supporting education and creating opportunities for Myanmar youth.


For many of us, continuing our education can feel uncertain and out of reach, especially during times like this. Prospect Burma has continued to stand beside young people, giving us hope and the chance to keep learning and moving forward.


Rooted in Burmese culture, the peacock represents Prospect Burma’s journey and evolution over the years. Standing tall and dignified through difficult times, it reflects the resilience of Prospect Burma and the hope it continues to give to Myanmar’s next generation.
