After listening to the poem 'My Father's Love Letters' by Yusef Komunyakaa, I came up with this idea for an illustration. In the poem, the husband and wife are separated, and the husband asks his son to write letters to his wife. What came to my mind was having the husband holding the sealed letter in his hand, and then an image of his wife holding the letter. I chose to not include so much detail in this piece and tried to focus on simple colors and design.
