The Monk's Kids

"The Monks' Kids," depicted through Vyam Aggarwal's watercolour on paper, captures the essence of contentment through a tranquil scene. The artwork portrays a wooden hut constructed from brown blocks, featuring a window that forms the focus of the composition. Inside the hut stands a young Buddhist monk, aged around 14-15, dressed in vibrant orange robes. He gazes out through the window, hinting at a yearning or curiosity for the world beyond. 

Adjacent to the hut, seated on the ground, is another figure adorned in similar orange robes, also a young monk. His shadow is cast to his left, subtly symbolizing a presence or influence beyond the physical. This seated monk appears older than the one standing, projecting an air of wisdom and experience. The serene atmosphere conveyed through the depiction of these two figures evokes a sense of peaceful contemplation and contentment.
