FATHERHOOD, 2022

This artwork, titled “Fatherhood,” encapsulates my personal journey and expression. It vividly portrays a king, descended from a line of ancestors who laid the foundation of our legacy. The piece delves into the challenges and tribulations inherent in shaping a brighter future for generations to come, all subtly conveyed through the emotions etched on the king’s face.

Reflecting on my own experiences, I grappled with the loss of my father during my formative years, which initially left me feeling less assertive. The impact of a father’s influence is profound, shaping one’s character and strength. Yet, despite the absence, the essence of our paternal lineage remains ingrained in our very being.

“Fatherhood” is a poignant reminder to stand resilient in the face of adversity, drawing strength from the indelible marks left by our forefathers. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of our heritage, encouraging us to forge ahead, embracing the echoes of our past and creating a legacy of our own.
