Together, we rise, woven by the unseen threads of resilience, hope, and shared experience. Though each of us walks a different path, we find echoes of one another in our struggles, triumphs, and dreams. The women in this painting represent my ancestors and stand as symbols of unity, their gazes lifted toward hope and faith, their faces in varying stages of completion, a reminder that we are all works in progress, still shaping who we are meant to become. The vibrant florals represent growth and rebirth, while handwritten words and textures hold stories waiting to be told. Some faces remain unfinished, just as in life, where we are constantly evolving, searching, and defining our purpose. But even in uncertainty, we are never alone. Together, our voices create a symphony of strength, guiding us forward.
