This is an original drawing from my from August Series ‘Freedom not free’. Inspired by the challenges we are faced with and what truly aspirations. These are all systematic right? I collect my self and ask the question if we’re truly free or if really we are free from societal institutions built by us & structured to control us then keep us at the bottom then create class? I pick up my pen first to write down these things that keeps bothering me and bringing me daily distress. I mean society turned out to be a Civilized jungle and with a haunt to whoever becomes prey. However it turns out the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. How can our dreams rescue us in this animal kingdom where love is as a diamond with hate like a raging fire ever ready for destruction masked with deception. The violin is a difficult instrument to play but with mastery builds self reliance and esteem disputing societal class.The powerful sounds from a violin or better say, a whole orchestra playing strings of a violin will bring an entire nation healing. All subjects of my piece are children, they are the once coming after us and if we can’t teach them so they can heal, We may never HEAL.
