You Are Loved
This piece doesn’t argue. It affirms.
Two children stand hand in hand, facing a truth written larger than themselves: You Are Loved. The message isn’t polished or gentle—it’s painted, weathered, slightly cracked, as if it had to survive being said out loud in a hard world. Love here is not abstract. It is inherited, learned, and practiced.
The figures are shown from behind, intentionally anonymous. They could be anyone—and that’s the point. This is not about individual innocence; it’s about collective responsibility. What we place in front of children becomes part of how they see themselves.
The oversized heart looms like a public declaration, not a private reassurance. Love, in this frame, is communal. It belongs in the open. It demands witnesses.
Ideal for classrooms, counseling spaces, and homes that believe affirmation is not weakness but infrastructure.
