Rooted in Love

Standing tall, a child holds a green heart — not as an offering, but as a truth held close to the chest. Their gaze is direct, steady, unflinching. The background pulses with soft pinks and lavenders, while black scribbles swirl like wind or thought. Their shirt is vibrant green with yellow dots, their shorts deep blue — pattern as identity, colour as voice. The artist doesn’t depict vulnerability; they affirm strength — the kind that comes from knowing you are loved, and choosing to carry that love forward. You can almost feel the pulse in their hands, hear the silence that speaks louder than words, taste the resilience in their stance.
