Weight of the World on a Child’s Shoulders

Acrylic painting of a child in multiple colors

Medium: Acrylic | Year: 2023 | Second Place & People’s Choice Award

This painting began with a question: What will a child feel in a future without certainty, where individuality makes them an outcast?

Looking at the chaos in our world choices, I thought about the children who will inherit it. the uncertainty they will face and the weight they will carry simply for being themselves. Through this painting, I want to express the pain I feel when I imagine those burdens resting on the shoulders of tomorrow’s children.
