This artwork from 2004 is a deeply personal tribute to my father and the vital role he played in my life. The piece depicts a powerful, intimate moment—a baby’s hand being held up by their father’s hand. It captures a symbolic exchange between generations, representing the guidance, strength, and affirmation a father gives to his child. The imagery conveys a profound message: when a father is present to confirm and support his child, that child can fully realize the potential and power within their own hands.
The artwork serves as a testament to fatherhood, particularly in moments that many men may miss. It reflects how the presence of a father can help a child see their full potential, offering support that empowers them to grow. This piece is both a tribute to my father's influence and a broader commentary on the importance of paternal support in shaping a child's future.
