A Letter to Oma,

Oma, a year as has passed since you left us. In writing this letter, I seek to process this difficult period in my life and to keep your memory alive.

You where a remarkable woman, and I am deeply grateful for your influence on my journey. As I strive to showcase my capabilities to the world, your essence continues to inspire me. In my meditations on time, I contemplate creating more meaningful art, channeling the emotions and insights borne from my loss into my creative expressions.

Oma, it has been difficult to cope and move forward, but your words, “it’s going to be okay,” are imprinted in my mind, offering comfort ad midst the sorrow. Oma, the responsibility of “being and becoming: now rests with me - to evolve both as person and as an artist, influenced by your enduring love.

Your grandson,
Ruben
