Following the brief ‘the beauty of connecting over coffee’ I decided to create a scene with people gathering around a table sharing coffee and stories with their loved ones, inspired by my family and the moments we spent together around the table.

In my family, coffee was always a reason for all the relatives to meet and gather around a table and talk about stories from today and the past. Those moments, as well as drinking coffee itself, would bring the warmth of belonging.

With the concept that coffee brings people together and strengthens bonds, the idea behind the illustration is to create this relatable feeling of belonging to a place & a group of loved ones, and invite people to connect and check in with their loved ones, perhaps arrange a coffee date to catch up and reminisce about good memories.
