This painting shines light on how some African children grow up having to carry so much responsibility as the first born child.

While their parents are at work, the first born child often has to sacrifice childhood play in order to take care of their siblings and take on household responsibilities.

This piece pays homage to their struggles and celebrates their resilience.
