"Morning Coffee is not just a portrait of one woman, but of all women. It captures a universal ritual—the quiet act of preparing to face the world. The mud mask becomes more than skincare; it’s symbolic armor, a gesture of care, transformation, and control. Even in solitude, even before the day begins, there is intention: to be ready, to be presentable, to carry oneself with dignity. The painting reflects the emotional labor behind composure—the internal strength required to present a calm surface despite whatever might lie beneath. The red mug, warm and vibrant, becomes a metaphor for energy, identity, and the fire held within. This is a portrait of quiet resilience. A reminder that strength often starts in the smallest of rituals—and that behind every polished face is a woman who chose to begin again.
