The unique balance of calmness and strength that elephants' carry have always been inspiring for Ishika. 

Her sketch, Mom and Me captures this sentiment beautifully. It reminds her of the serene comfort and support that comes from being with your mom—a space where everything feels peaceful and safe. 

Crafted entirely with pen and ink, this artwork is a testament to Ishika's skill and patience. The detailed textures of the elephants' skin, achieved through precise linework and delicate cross-hatching, bring the subjects to life. The juxtaposition of their massive forms and the intricate details makes this piece a rare gem. It is a challenging medium, demanding meticulous attention to detail and no room for error, yet Ishika’s strokes flow effortlessly, creating depth, emotion, and character in every line.

Mom and Me is not just a sketch; it’s a heartfelt story of love, care, and connection. Owning this piece means bringing home a timeless reminder of the beauty of maternal bonds and the strength they provide.
