Nicolene Burger is a multimedia artist playing in the fields of painting, installations and performance art, though her relationship with practices of creative expression extends into the way she navigates life itself. Art for Nicolene is a form of embodiment: “art is the medium through which I delve into myself, get to know deeper parts of myself, and the way I study life and how my brain works.” Nicolene’s first time connecting with oil-paint was in University studying Fine Arts.

Someone once said ‘a name is the shortest poem’. Well, meet the poetry of Boudica. She joined our team many moons ago with a wild first adventure! We journeyed for our first pop-up of the White Lotus at Pangea festival back in 2022. As a Virgo her practical, down-to-earth personality became a grounded voice within Tres. Her patience is reliable. Boudica is defined by the way she moves through life in terms of her awareness - how she interacts with life's unfolding - by her sensitivity and receptivity, and by the lifetimes that she has lived before this one. She goes deep into the layers of the intricate complexity of human existence, which is too vast to summarise. We had...
