Hi everyone, Today, I was captivated by this painting by Hwai Jen. She painted this during the Covid lockdown, a time that affected us all. The world was shrouded in uncertainty, and we were all witness to the suffering and loss caused by the pandemic.
And in this painting, I found a piece of my childhood. I remember the joy and laughter that balloons brought. They were a symbol of celebration, a source of happiness that transcended any hardship. We all loved to get a balloon home, knowing it was only a matter of time before the balloon broke. And when it does, our short-lived happiness dissipates into the air😢.
But then we looked forward to the next celebration, didn’t we? I would love to read your thoughts about the childhood moments that you treasured😊😊.
