Tangible reminders are scattered throughout every home, from a drawing proudly displayed on the fridge to family portraits adorned across several walls and tables. These portraits serve as proof of how families reminisce about their shared history and the presence of their members. In our current digital age, with platforms like Instagram and Facebook serving as photo archives, the practice of printing and framing physical photographs has notably declined.

'Still Cherishing' reminds us of the unique power of framed family portraits to capture and preserve moments of celebration and connection across generations. The varied arrangement of modern and vintage frame designs, paired with colored pencil illustrations, visually narrates the passage of time. Framed images preserve moments that time cannot recapture. This is why the dedicated spaces we pass daily often feature these frames, a constant reminder to cherish these moments.
