THE GROCERY BAG SERIES
When I lived in Atlanta, over a decade ago, I transformed struggles into opportunities, finding creative ways to make ends meet. I would search the streets for coins to buy a potato or sandwich to last a week. Today, I celebrate my journey by up-cycling the paper bags full of groceries into vibrant art pieces. "The Grocery Bag Series" symbolizes resilience and gratitude, reminding us that adversity can be a catalyst for growth and positivity. By embracing our challenges, we can rise above them and appreciate the beauty in our transformations.
