It shares the stories of the children of Papua New Guinea, drawn from both learned and lived experiences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are a number of artworks and sketches within this series that will be released over time, each accompanied by its own story. Together, they aim to shed light on the gaze of a PNG child and the realities they navigate. As an artist, I believe it is important that we, whether from Papua New Guinea or elsewhere, take the time to listen to our children.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this piece, a small child looks towards the sky but is instead greeted by leaves carrying fruit. The large red fruit serves as a symbol of dreams, aspirations and possibilities. It represents the visions that guide our children and call for their attention. If their dreams deserve their attention, then they deserve ours as well. It is our responsibility to help guide them towards paths of promise rather than harm, creating opportunities for them to face life with hope instead of fear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor every obstacle, there is beauty.

There is possibility, growth and a future waiting to be discovered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePikinini\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e series focuses on children, it is also a reminder that each of us was once a child. We remain someone's child, no matter how old we become. Every day is our first time living beyond the day before, learning as we go.
