The Heart of Mimi, 2024

Graphite, paper

The heart of Mimi is a heartfelt self-portrait from my childhood, capturing a quiet moment of innocence and wonder. Using soft pencil strokes and careful shading, I aimed to preserve the pure expression and small details that tell a story of who I was. The little plush toy by my side adds a touch of comfort and nostalgia, symbolizing the warmth and security of those early years.
