This piece portrays a young boy resting peacefully on his father’s shoulders, nestled in a crown of blooming flowers. The flowers woven into the father’s hair symbolize the growth, wisdom, life lessons, and experiences he has gathered throughout every season of his life. They represent the journey that shaped him into the man and father he is today.
In contrast, the son’s hair is formed from paint, rocks, and soil, with a single sprout emerging from the earth. Though his journey is only beginning, the sprout symbolizes the potential within him..the growth, knowledge, and character he will cultivate through his own experiences.
As the boy rests above his father, he is both supported by and connected to the foundation laid before him. The piece speaks to legacy, guidance, and the quiet admiration children have for their parents. It captures the unspoken sentiment many sons carry in their hearts: “I want to be just like you when I grow up.”
