Is a poignant series that confronts the quiet tragedy of stolen innocence in a world increasingly shaped by media, technology and hyper-connectivity. In this digital age where childhood is often accelerated, exposed, and reshaped by screens and curated realities. I seek to remind us that the essence of being a child must not be interrupted, distorted, or taken away. Each piece in this series reflects the tension between the innate wonder of youth and the modern forces that threaten to erode it too soon.
“Forbidden Childhood “ is both a tribute to the resilience of children and a visual protest, a call to protect their right to imagine, to play, to grow slowly, and to remain untouched by the weight of adult concerns. Through this work, I invite viewers to reflect on the responsibility we all share in preserving the purity of childhood.
