Teach
The Silent Lessons Between Us
Description:
The river moves, carving paths unseen, a force of nature and nurture intertwined. Two houses stand upon the current—one leaning forward, reaching, the other standing firm, receiving. A breath lingers in the air, a whisper passed from one to another. Teaching, learning—an ebb and flow, an unspoken rhythm where wisdom is not given but shared. The sun watches, distant yet present, illuminating a journey where roles dissolve, and the teacher becomes the student.
Concept and Inspiration:
Teach is a reflection of parenthood—not as a role of authority, but as a reciprocal dialogue. The flowing blue form represents the ever-moving exchange of knowledge between parent and child, a current that shapes both. The houses, figures of stability yet in motion, embody the way we guide and are guided in return.
This painting speaks to a deeper truth: my children have taught me more than I could ever teach them. The lessons they impart—about love, patience, resilience—are not found in books but in the quiet moments of shared existence.
The A Roaming House | a journey home series has always been for them. In seeking my own identity, my voice, and my purpose, I have found my greatest calling—of being their father and no matter how far they roam or wander they will always have a home.
