MY ARTWORK

My grandmother's weathered hands guided mine across the canvas, teaching me Avvaiyar's wisdom through brushstrokes. Each curve held stories our Tamil ancestors whispered across oceans, settling in my heart miles from home. I joined PaybookClub to share this journey, discovering others painting their heritage too. Their encouragement felt like stepping into a warm kitchen filled with jasmine and purpose. This painting captured that moment—when displacement becomes direction, when memory becomes art. The woozy colors swirl between worlds, yet feel notably whole. Creating this piece, I realized art isn't just what we make. It's how we belong.
