The title of this artwork is a metaphor for the fierce protectiveness one feels towards childhood and innocence. We all have a piece of our childhood that we cherish, and that the longing for simpler times is a universal feeling. Our past has a powerful influence on our present and future. It shapes our identity and beliefs, it is our source of strength and wisdom. But it can also hold us back and prevent from moving forward, it cause us to repeat old patterns of behavior and make the same mistakes over and over. It's worth contemplating whether it's our past that's holding us back or if it's our own choice to cling to it, out of fear of the unknown future?
