Painting
The colour purple features prominently in this piece, symbolizing wisdom, calm, power, individuality, and deep connection. It serves as a tribute to the women who have guided me throughout my life—mentors, family members, and friends—whose influence continues to shape my path.This work is a gesture of gratitude and reverence. Through it, I honor the experiences and advice they’ve shared, and the strength and insight they’ve imparted.
