In Focus, this artwork is part of the "Living Arrows series and draws inspiration from my deep love for children and Khalil Gibran's poem On Children. This series uses the metaphor of "living arrows" to depict the relationship between parents and their children. The "bows" symbolize parents, who provide the support, guidance, and direction needed for growth. Meanwhile, the "living arrows" represent children, who are destined to grow, learn, and eventually venture beyond their parents' embrace to forge their paths. This imagery highlights that, while parents play a crucial role in shaping their children, each child is independent, meant to soar and discover their unique journey. We empower our children to find their own way by giving them the space to grow.
