“Children are the source of love; they plant it at our feet, nurture it and help it grow throughout our lives.” -Mackenzie Thorpe

In this limited edition print for sale, Mackenzie Thorpe shows a child strolling through a silver background overgrown with red heart shaped flowers and vibrant green leaves. The child is drawn with no face as he is meant to represent everyone. Thorpe wants the viewer to see themselves in this figure, no matter their age, race, or background.

In this image, the child is wearing a long, plain, black duster coat and sturdy shoes. Although he doesn’t have much, his heart is filled with love that he is ready to share with the world. His stride is confident yet light-hearted. His head is head high as he carries a single red heart flower, ready to give to the first person he meets. The figure effortlessly floats through the field of red hearts, carried by his positivity and love. We cannot see his face, but his gait tells us that he is happy and hopeful for the future that he is stepping into.

The contrast between the colorful, red background and the muted tones of the child’s clothing show that no matter where you come from or what experiences you have had in life, you can still find hope and spread joy.
