This piece depicts a portrait of my grandmother, holding a prayer wheel and a Tibetan mask that signifies warring off demons. These objects are resonant with prayer and the smoke in the background signifies the Tibetan incense sticks my grandmother burns each morning. I wanted to show her as a more powerful woman, as that is what I believe her prayers make her.
