A reflection of the people and places that shaped me. Featuring my childhood mailbox adorned with birds, each representing a family member through the tradition of bird ornaments gifted at birth, this piece captures the essence of my identity. The glowing light on the mailbox breaking through the dark background symbolizes the joy and love of my family, shining even in the toughest times. While not a literal portrait, this painting portrays the core of who I am—my home and the people I hold dear.
