I created this piece as part of my Serving series, exploring ordinary rituals through a top-down perspective. Using oil pastels layered with acrylic paint, I focused on texture, contrast, and movement to capture the sensory experience of coffee rather than its literal form. The rich browns and glossy highlights emphasize warmth and stillness, turning a daily routine into a moment of pause and reflection.
