After laying her own flowers at the site of the December 2025 Bondi terror attack, Dr. Ella Dreyfus was invited by her colleague, artist Nina Sanadze, to photograph the memorial bouquets she collected and stored in a warehouse. Those images later became part of the Holding Light exhibition at Bondi Pavilion.
