In spite of the fact that Baylor, at 4, is commonly seen running wild, wreaking havoc, and laughing all the while, this quiet image depicts the difficult choice most little boys have to make. Between what he’s supposed to do and what he desperately wants to do, which will he choose? Which would you?
I love this image because it is both specific to one little boy, and also true of so many… not just boys, but girls and women and men. True art often asks us to reflect on ourselves, as this piece does so well.
