This painting reflects the artist's personal struggles in 2018 when her family faced financial hardships after moving to the mountains of Dong Rek. The artist had to sell cakes made by their mother, sacrificing time for school and falling behind academically. Despite these challenges, the artwork symbolizes determination and hope.
The painting depicts a girl climbing vines toward her mother's hand while reaching for a book, symbolizing the pursuit of education and a brighter future. A dove represents freedom, and a clock signifies the fleeting nature of time. Through this piece, the artist conveys her commitment to achieving their dreams, ensuring happiness, hope, and a better future for her family.
