Growing Upby ~tiffanytong

Traditional Art / Paintings / Surreal

This is the 2nd pic of my painting album REAL!

View in Full-size please

Title: Growing Up
Pic Meaning: The hourglass represents time. As the time goes, one will leave childhood. He/She has to deal with adult life, which is represented by the objects in the bottom part of the hour glass. The objects in the upper part of the hour glass represent childhood. The girl in the pic wants to pull her teddy bear with her, as she misses her carefree childhood. However this is impossible as the teddy bear is stuck in the bottleneck of the hourglass. Letting go is a big part of growing up.

Really like this, the concept is brilliant!
A lot of my work is based a lot around childhood as well. It's a wonderful thing that is taken for granted.
Such a shame that a lot of children feel the need to grow up so quickly, I would do anything to go back to when i was 5 and hadn't a care in the world!
