This portrait captures the profound bond between my mother and me, celebrating our reunion after 20 years of separation. It symbolizes the enduring patience and unwavering hope we both held onto, believing that one day our reunion would be worth the wait.

The image also reflects the emotional toll of migration, shedding light on the challenges and sacrifices it imposes on families striving to reconnect with their loved ones. Through this piece, I aim to convey both the resilience required to endure such a prolonged separation and the bittersweet reality of migration’s impact on personal relationships.
