Hands

Justin's lovely new work of art.

I wonder if he was trying to express his vision of family, hands together, intertwined, each separate yet integral to the balance of the whole.

I wonder if he's relating his experience of being a boy of two cultures, two ethnicities and two languages - a sometimes confusing world I'm sure.

Or perhaps it was just a matter of experimentation, fun with colour and delight in making something new all his own.

I'd like to dig inside his sweet, tousled head sometime and find out exactly how he thinks, what he feels.

I know every inch of this boy, I live and breathe him as though he's a part of me, and yet I know so little, too.

Such a mysterious, thoughtful and fascinating little being, this wee boy of three.
