The Child Who Could Still Dream is part of the Children Who Survived series, exploring childhood resilience and the inner worlds children create in order to endure. Through a symbolic figurative portrait, the work reflects on imagination as a place of refuge, transformation and survival. The child’s expression carries both vulnerability and quiet strength, while the dreamlike imagery evokes the persistence of hope even after difficult experiences. Created entirely by hand in pastel on paper, the artwork combines softness, detail and symbolism to explore the fragile boundary between what is endured and what continues to live within us.
