About The Artwork

In the heart of Africa, the laughter of children rises - light, unburdened, radiant.
Their eyes reflect a world still untouched by cynicism, where wonder lives in everyday moments:
a football made of string, a classroom shaded by leaves, a village woven with joy.

These are not just children - they are dreamers in their purest form,
reminding us of what it means to belong, to hope, to begin again.

Their innocence is not fragility - it is strength.
A truth too often ignored, yet powerful enough to dismantle prejudice
and reawaken our shared humanity.

To see the world through their eyes
is to remember that possibility begins in tenderness.
