The Journey of Life

Medium: Oil on canvas

The painting serves as a metaphor for life, comparing the burdens of age and past experiences with the innocence and hope of youth. It highlights the weight of our past, symbolised by an elderly man dragging a heavy, locked trunk, in contrast to a young girl who joyfully tows a toy and enjoys the present.
Scattered photographs represent fading memories, which often get lost with age and experience.
The tree of life and a melting clock signify life's complexity and the relativity of time perception.
The painting encourages us to carry our experiences forward, both positive and negative, maintain hope, and cherish life's fleeting moments.
