The Child

The Child is a main archetype in storytelling tools. She represents the eternal youth and innocents that lives inside of us all. To have innocents to lack wisdom which only comes from experience. It’s the care free attitude that we bring as children with the assumption that nothing can go wrong until we learn otherwise. As adults we often get so caught up in keeping ourselves safe and secure that we lose sight of the playful nature we knew so well as children. This painting is a reminder of the silliness we all hold and to let it loose every once in awhile in order to experience the best parts of life.
