Anspaseli Handipum (Unexpected Meeting)
Pen and crayon
I had the unexpected privilege to travel to Armenia this summer for a medical elective. The entire trip was a series of unexpected opportunities and discoveries that left a deep impression on me. The design of this piece is inspired by the Armenian Khachtk'ar or cross-stones that are unique to the region and are very intricately carved. Words written in Armenian signify some of the memories I have acquired from my trip. Pomegranates are Armenia's national fruit and their presence is a tribute to the people I met on my journey.
