“Be Kind” explores the unseen power of energy, particularly the negative energy we often direct toward others without realizing it.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the piece is a figure who embodies both a queen\u2019s authority and the quiet servitude of a lady-in-waiting. Below her, a young royal child stands in silence, their lips appearing almost sewn shut\u2014afraid to speak, their voice suppressed.<\/p>\n

The queen\u2019s pale blue eyes carry a sadness, a sense of disconnection from those around her. This dynamic reflects the vulnerability of children, who are especially susceptible to the wounds of verbal abuse. Their silence speaks volumes, a poignant reminder of the harm words can inflict.<\/p>\n

“Be Kind” is a heartfelt plea, a call to consider the weight of our words and actions. Inspired by the simple yet profound quote,<\/p>\n

\u201cJust be kind,\u201d this piece urges us to choose compassion, to be mindful of the energy we share, and to give others the space to speak and be heard.<\/p>\n
