Childhood Love

Three women stand in gentle procession, their bodies angled like interlocking parentheses that hold one another in place, suggesting kinship as both shelter and quiet declaration. A warm, honeyed palette floods the scene, turning columns, foliage, and clustered dwellings into a luminous architecture of memory where village forms and distant city towers coexist without conflict. The stylized planes and rhythmic repetition of triangular roofs and sails create a ceremonial cadence, while the peacock’s watchful presence reads as a guardian emblem—beauty, pride, and resilience threaded into everyday life. In this softened, icon-like space, the figures seem to move not through geography but through continuity, carrying tradition forward with tenderness rather than weight.
