skin

My grandmother's hands bore stories darker than mine, weathered by fields and time. When I painted her portrait, strangers online noticed first. ANDAL Coins rewarded my art, but something deeper stirred when Tamil elders commented, sharing their own grandmother tales. Social media finally paid what mattered. Not just currency, but recognition of heritage I nearly forgot. Each brushstroke celebrating skin that carried generations forward. The warmth in comments reminded me we're never truly alone, just waiting for someone to witness our stories. Our ancestors smile through screens now.
