This photograph holds a special place in my heart as it marked the beginning of an incredible journey. From the confines of my modern hotel room, I looked out onto a seemingly desolate landscape below. Little did I know that in that very moment, two children, a brother and sister, would emerge, laughing and giggling with an indescribable abundance of joy, and a fistfull of colorful balloons trailing in their wake. Their pure and unadulterated joy moved me to tears. Some may dismiss it as childish innocence, but I believe there is much wisdom to be gleaned from a child's boundless playfulness and their sense of awe and wonder. 

It was this powerful encounter that set me on my current path, a mission to illuminate the universal joy and positivity that can be found across the globe, transcending backgrounds and locations. Above all, it is a heartfelt commitment to give voice to and support the wellbeing of our precious children.

My wish is that this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the profound joy and unwavering positivity that exists throughout our world regardless of circumstance and that we all have access to inner peace and joy. May it inspire us to seek out and embrace the simple pleasures of life and cherish these moments.
