This piece was inspired by the idea of people around the world, who, whether by choice or necessity, leave their homes and seek a brighter future in a developed country.
It represents their aspirations for a better life, peace, and a broader perspective on the world.
In this artwork, the wine glass plays a significant role, symbolizing the human being. The dominant red color represents the blood and sweat shed as a result of starting from scratch and adapting to a new way of life.
The individuals moving towards the city symbolize the pursuit of their goals, each taking a different path but ultimately striving for success.
Overall, this artwork depicts how a developed country may appear from a distance-appealing and effortless.
However, as one approaches closer, the piece reveals the challenges and consequences faced in the pursuit of a livelihood.
