Statement
"We yearn and dream just like our parents and grandparents. During our growth and developmental process, we are constantly assessing our own abilities that will be used in our future physically, emotionally, socially, and academically. We want our dreams to come true. I used the flat brush and knife technique to achieve this abstract design with kids in mind, making them first priority all the time."
