So, this is Love.

In our family, love has always been expressed through a simple code: “38” — three little words, eight little letters. It became our unique way of saying “I love you,” passed down from my grandparents. When I turned 38, I set out to create a piece of art honoring that legacy. With help from family, we filled it with words that define love to us—respect, trust, care, justice, and more. Now, “38” is not just a number, but a lasting symbol of the love that binds us.
