This painting shows a sushi table where people from different cultures gather. The table invites us to think about identity, inclusion, and what truly connects us. It asks: Who gets a seat at the table? What parts of culture are shared, and what parts are taken?

I used layered brushwork and detailed rendering to highlight both contrast and harmony—between the people, the food, and the space they share. The sushi table becomes a symbol of connection but also of conflict. Some get to pick first, others must wait. This small moment reflects a larger tension: a world that wants unity but still carries deep divisions.
