Accompanying excerpt to the piece:

My mooncake tin holds a moment in time; a lunch date with my late Grandma. Organized in a grid, the square tiles are windows into different landscapes of my memory of her. I remember her wrinkled but sturdy fingers — worn from a lifetime as a seamstress. I remember her dusty gray hair aged atop her concentrated brow. I remember the wrinkles above her pursed mouth taking in an indulgent sip of soup, always released with a smile of satisfaction.

My memory is not a complete or continuous image, rather windows of these memorable characteristics that when pieced together express her thoughtful and tender disposition that transcend the limits of her portrait or event.
