The story

Every family has a garden of its own, with many branches, different personalities, and stories that unfold over the years. In this painting, the flowers represent the branches of a family, each with its own qualities and character, while the bees represent its members, each with a journey, experiences, and a path of their own.

Just as bees travel from flower to flower, our bonds are not confined to the branches we belong to. We come together, support one another, and leave a lasting mark on each other’s lives. Our stories may differ, our paths may diverge, and life may bring us challenges and experiences unlike one another’s.

On the horizon lies a single hive, a symbol of the belonging that holds us together and the place where our paths meet, no matter how differently they unfold.

For family is not about living the same story, but about having different stories connected by a shared bond, with a place for each of us in the garden that brings us together.

This painting is an original by Sheikha Al Fahdi. If it stayed with you, she would love to hear from you.
