“Promise” captures the elegance and grace of a woman dressed in a beautifully decorated vintage hanbok. The connection to her cultural roots is represented through this traditional Korean garment. The serenity of her expression spoke to me of promise and the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Her Korean name, “Huimang”, translates to “hope” further enriching the narrative of this evocative portrait.  The delicate orchids in the background serve as a gentle reminder of the beauty that surrounds us and the promise of new beginnings that await us.
