About The Artwork

This work seeks to reveal the invisible threads of a reality where childhood meets hardship too soon. Innocent souls inherit the weight of life through the quiet transmission of struggle - laughter replaced by labor, play by responsibility.

School, a place meant for dreams, is often unreachable. Fatigue shapes their nights, monotony their days. And yet, they endure.

Every child deserves to dream, to learn, to simply be a child. May this painting stand as a quiet cry for justice - and a reminder that their story must not be forgotten.
