I didn't bother taking a before shot shot because I was sure I had taken one when we moved in to the new apartment. However, I was mistaken. So please try to see that this is a faux wood armoire. I hated it, and thought there was nothing I could do to it as we are renters here and it was here when we moved in and belongs to our landlord. Even though I would consider it doing him a favour, I feel like our aesthetic taste differs. And with that I took to three close friends of mine; paper, scissors, and masking tape.
Although it was something I had wanted to tackle, I had a creative block as to what exactly to do and what exactly I could do. It suddenly just came to me and the process felt so theraputic. I've been really sad lately as my grandmother on my father's side passed away last Thursday. I have moments where I can talk rationally about her passing and understand it but be fine, and at at other times it seems so real and the thought of her not here anymore is something I just can't believe. I live on the other side of the world and hadn't seen her in the past 10 months, but up until a month ago, spoke to her on a weekly basis. It's hard being so far away and going through this without my family nearby (also across the sea), and I wanted to do something for my grandmother, in her honour. So this one is for you, Anyu. I love you always.

I loved the fact that you expressed your feelings creatively. your grandmother would have been proud. Most people do a run of the mill, ordinary tribute. Not you. Bravo!
