When my son graduated from kindergarten, I wanted to express my gratitude to the individuals who had guided him through his early exploration of the world, his play, and the development of his growing independence. To do so, I decided to create a portrait of each person who had played a role in his journey. I presented each portrait as a postcard, with a personal message written on the back. For the illustrations, I chose a limited color palette and focused on simple, expressive shapes to capture the essence of each person.
