Boy Waving Hand, 2023

 

 

Brown toddler boy waving hand on abstract multicolor background.



Acrylic on Canvas
20 in. x 24 in.


"Boy Waving Hand," was created as a painting of a toddler photographed sitting on a chair streetside in a bustling, urban Ugandan town.

The artwork is a visual celebratory statement addressing early childhood and the innocence associated to it within context of fear of adulthood.

As adults, and even as teens, people lose sight of what should be important.  This is due in part to social contraints that force us to lean into life instead of 'laying back'.  Of course, as adults, people make choices according to predetermined goals.  

"Boy Waving Hand," ventures to suggest that life happens and that people can either welcome life or persistently deny life for themselves and their neighbors.  

We can wave 'hello' or wave 'goodbye'... but, it doesn't matter so long as we can enjoy it because life is going to happen regardless.
