At the Zoo, 2017

“At the Zoo” is a vibrant painting reflecting cherished dreams and muted guilt.

As I focused on building a startup, precious time with my children slipped away, including the simple dream of an afternoon at the zoo.

This painting represents that unfulfilled plan, expressing my subconscious desires and confessing my guilt for lost time. It symbolizes the unbroken bond with my children and the yearning for shared happiness.

The playful animal figures in the painting embody the envisioned day, a heartfelt memory that never came to fruition. It captures the beautiful, unfulfilled moments of parenthood that live in my heart and now on canvas.
