DescriptionUnza studied BA Painting at Camberwell College of Arts. She says:
'This painting describes comfort and nostalgia of a South Asian household; it is a build-up of warm tones combined with elements to connect my heritage. This piece allows reflection, objectively and subjectively to our priorities as well as allowing us to dive into a core memory and emotion of a grandmother looking to share her loneliness'.
