Love in its truest form is quiet, enduring and sacrificial. It is constant and dependable, willing to do even the most thankless task and not expecting anything in return. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things. Even in the toughest battles, Love does not abandon, but chooses to stay.

Tears & Strength is dedicated to the artist’s parents. In her eyes, they are like the lion and lioness—brave, resilient and unabated. Their gaze and posture speaks of unwavering strength. They have borne through hardship like no other and shed many tears along the way, most of it unseen. The way they love others is a resounding legacy the artist holds dearly. Through their lives, the artist has learnt how families should love and what it means to be a true giver to humanity.
