Concept
The artist seeks to explore the concept of time and responsibility through the imagery of butterflies and flowers. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder to the viewer: while one may diligently invest time in study, work, and research for the betterment of all, has that time been used appropriately in all aspects of life? The artist urges the viewer to reflect on the sacrifices made by their parents, who devoted their lives to instilling values like discipline, love for knowledge, and social responsibility. Yet, these parental figures often remain silent about their own needs for quality time with their children, continually offering guidance and support. The painting becomes a call to action, encouraging everyone to use their precious time to express love and gratitude towards the two people who have invested a lifetime in them.
