Concept
When I first learned about the competition's theme "Playground
of Your Imagination", one thing quickly came into my mind,
the family. It is because of these two reasons: first, I have
read Plato's dialogue "The Republic", where in the
abolition of family was discussed. I didn't like the idea most
specifically when he mentioned of the separation of the mothers
from their children. Second, I notice that it seems that the
essence of family is gone. Father, mother, and children closely
knit, united and full of love and understanding. Instead of those
ideals, the irony rises today. Misunderstanding between couples
offen lead to marriage break-ups. Most parents have lost quality
time for their children and it attributes unfavourable conditions
and more. The negative points mentioned about family urged me
to do something positive about family. For the parents and the
children should together trace life's long journey united in
harmony and love. It is from the experience of togetherness where
they find out survival, how to live a just and humane life. My
work depicts unity of people, women and men, young and old building
the image of the family. It is obvious that the rendition is
childlike because it seems to me that the family fills in the
lives of people. As defined, the family is the basic unit of
the society; it is where good citizens are molded. The colour
implies strength, understanding and love for all.
