Light is the Head that Wears a Paper Crown

A second iteration inspired by my earlier painting Paper Crown. This piece reflects the unburdened dignity of childhood โ€” a time when imagination shapes identity without the weight of responsibility.

Through soft color relationships and quiet, painterly moments, I wanted to capture how children live so naturally inside their own inner worlds. A reminder that our earliest sense of self isnโ€™t formed by heaviness, but by the freedom to simply be.
