To continue our journey on this subject. It begins even before our first breath in our mother’s womb—moreover, a realm of security, a universe painted with beautiful images. We are natural swimmers in this cosmos as we dwell within. Yet, as life grows beyond the womb, many of us forget to flow, with potentially dire consequences. The security we once held within us slips away rapidly. And once we emerge into the world, we seldom yearn to return.
This subject materialized during technological advancement as I was engrossed in a spontaneous moment watching a music video. The actor knelt inside a semi-cave. Further, adopting the same fetal position. It’s a gesture that spanned countless years, touching our shared human experience.

This theme also goes back to a time of innocence. A cherished memory of a loved one. Who introduced me to this profound subject. Sometimes, as we delve deeper into the intricacies of life and its meanings, we are met with both pain and reward.

I have always been deeply passionate about teaching art to children and sharing the boundless possibilities of the creative process.
“Kneeling” is more than a mere artistic endeavor. It’s a testament to the human journey. It reminds us that we find strength and resilience even in our most vulnerable moments. To conclude, it offers solace to the soul and connects us to the universal embrace of the fetal position.
