This welled up so much emotion in me. I've been having a lot of thoughts about my grandparents lately, then duality of loving them as they were to me but seeing who they were as a human in the world. You captured this emotion gorgeously. Great job with this beautiful piece ✨️🙏

thank you! yes i really wanted to portray the whiplash you get from really finding out who someone is, but also know that who they were/the memories can still stand true.
