Bendicion Joaquin was written as a thank you letter of love to my family who has supported me both as an artist and an individual. With the recent pandemic and the distance put between people across the globe, as well as the loss of my Tia Yolanda in 2017 to cancer, my family has been tested, but we always find a way to reach each other during hardships. For my senior thesis, I wanted to speak true to the very real emotions of not having your loved ones around but knowing that they're rooting from you from afar.
