Rivers of Life

Single panel size 65cm x 65cm
Diptych size (combination of Panel A and B) 130cm x 65cm

Within the abstract composition, two magnificent blue rivers gracefully meander side by side, their currents undulating with a sense of tranquility and harmony. The delicate interplay of blues intermingling with streaks of silver, brings depth and dimension to the artwork. One river flows in a subtly lighter shade of blue, while the other carries a more intense hue, symbolising the parallel yet distinct paths of the young children’s lives.

“Rivers of Life” encapsulates the notion that although their journeys may follow similar currents, the children’s lives possess their own unique shades and depths. Witness the beauty that emerges when we embrace our own journey while flowing alongside others in the river of life.
