Artist's commentary
Sweet...and Warm
My world was so cold and empty that I hardened my heart to be the same way. It is only thanks to the kindness of the people around me that I was able to melt the ice that had so defined my life. "Is that...a smile? Michael, look! Ravina's smiling!" I was happy to receive such a wonderful gift, but Lofia became even more excited than I was. Lofia's sweet message and the deliciousness of her gift... I wish I could bundle this moment into a box so that I could treasure it forever. (A note written by Ravina that was tucked into a box of sweets)
