Artist Statement: "The Blossoms Children"
The world is full of both good and bad. True change in the world can only come from us as humans, choosing to become better. Children are our new generation, our future, and our hope. It’s up to us as adults to protect them from toxic attitudes and negative influences. Let’s teach them with kindness, show them love, and guide them toward a life of truth and respect for others. When we nurture children with these values, we empower them to create a world free from conflict and rich in understanding.
The image of children holding balloons captures this innocence and joy, with the balloons symbolizing dreams, aspirations, and the freedom to soar. Through nurturing their potential, we’re not only securing their future but building a brighter world for us all.
