The two paintings titled "Growing" hold significant meaning for the artist as they embody a collaborative process between the artist and their niece and nephew. The paintings follow a set of guidelines similar to aerial map paintings, allowing the young participants to choose colors and the placement of elements. The artist then adds their finishing touches, completing the artwork. "Growing" symbolizes both personal growth and learning for the artist, as they explore problem-solving in a different way by working on something initiated by someone else. Simultaneously, the paintings represent the growth and wonder of the artist's niece and nephew, who are evolving each day. These pieces hold a special place in the artist's exhibition, encapsulating the essence of growth, learning, and the beauty found in the collaborative process.
