The backyard

Description:

The image shows a sleepy kangaroo in the backyard of an old palace. In Australia, the backyard is a key place, present in almost every home, not like in my native country.

Backyards allow a style of life healthier for kids and more relaxing for parents. It also allows the enjoyment of a great social life, since it makes it easier to invite friends to spend time together and, for example, share a barbecue, an element practically omnipresent there. The result of this is less stress, higher levels of relaxation and happiness, traits that well describe the average Australian.

Note also the rugby ball and the butterfly, two elements with their symbolism in the work.

 

Significance of the artwork:

This work reminds us of the importance of finding balance in life, of relaxing, of being with loved ones and trying to provide them with what they need.
