Description

This painting is about the concept of children unconsciously taking on often outdated beliefs born of fears of their parents. Reflecting on my life as I reach middle age, I saw my own cycles of unconscious behaviors and the concept of adopting 'the sins of the father' became very clear to me. Though I do believe that our parents are always acting out of the desire to protect their children. As the child is dragging the ridiculously large burden, the father is sanctified and idolized in his eyes, as represented by the beads around the foreground bird's neck. Symbolizing blind adherence to an unquestioning ideology. I believe it is the children's responsibility to determine what serves them and what doesn't. Thus the bird always has the ability to release the rope and the burden it willingly carries.
