DESCRIPTION

This painting is a memorial. My mom had a lot of customers patronizing her fruit business, but out of them stands out two ladies who not only bought from her but saw her as a mother figure, before we knew them personal y, they were just casual customers who bought oranges and kept it moving but later they became a soul kid to my mother. These two women made me realize that family can be anybody from dif erent walks of life and not necessarily tied by blood or relation. My relationship with them grew in a very amazing way, they look out for me and I also look up to them as siblings. Til when I document this piece, they've given my art career a visibility in there own way, I can boldly say, I enjoy true companionship from total strangers, two people who are just "ero oja" but later became my God sent.
