Original artwork description:

This work explores themes of resilience, survival, and the shared humanity of those often overlooked. The three children, depicted in striking blue tones, symbolize strength and endurance against adversity. Their vivid blue skin contrasts with the lush green background, reflecting both their connection to nature and the weight of their struggles. The use of yellow water containers serves as a symbol of necessity, labor, and the harsh realities of water scarcity, which burdens many communities worldwide. Through expressive brushstrokes and a bold color palette, I aim to bring attention to the silent stories of these individuals—stories of perseverance, hope, and dignity in the face of hardship. By confronting viewers with the children's direct gazes, I hope to evoke empathy and a sense of shared responsibility for the inequalities that persist globally. This painting is a call to see, understand, and act. This work is part of a continuing "Untold Stories Series'.
