"Cultivate kindness where the weeds of hate and anger grow."
quote by: Kayla Taylor, Sarasota, Florida
I believe we need to understand and comfort the pain of others. In my artwork, there is a scene depicting children playing happily near the ruins of war. This scene represents the importance of empathizing with others and supporting them. Despite the devastation of war, the children are playing happily in their own world. Their ability to find joy amidst adversity gives us hope for the future. It is our role to help them continue to feel hope and happiness even in difficult situations.
