The artwork shows an African child with a green face and fire flaming hands, whom is still smiling. This narrative is symbolic of the special attribute of youthfulness and childhood, suggesting that the innocence of childhood allows youthful dreams to channel energy ( indicated by fire ) which manifests their dreams into a physical form. Their radiant smile is a reflection of their confidence and the joy they take in using their abilities to make a positive impact in their community. The green color of their face symbolizes their connection to nature and the healing power of the earth.
