(Pencil & pastel on paper & digital, 2017)
I went out to get my daughter a pair of gloves. I knew there was a cart in front of Whole Foods.
“A perfect day for gloves.”
“It is.”
I handed him seven dollars. He handed me the gloves. With his hands bare.
딸아이 장갑을 사주러 나섰다. 홀푸즈 수퍼마켓 앞에 수레가 있는 걸 봐 두었었다.
“장갑 하나 꼭 필요한 날이죠.”
“그러게요.”
아저씨께 7불을 건네드렸다. 아저씨가 장갑을 건네주셨다. 맨손으로.
A little ordinary detail that you noticed and a touching story.

Thank you Claudia! Exactly – the ordinariness of the detail struck a tone in me.
