Finding Refreshment After Intense Competitive Interactions

Go Fish is a card game for two to five players, commonly played by children. The objective is to be the first player to empty your hand by forming sets of four cards. The game relies on honesty, as it's challenging to stop players from lying about their hand. Occasionally, human interactions can mimic these simple competitive games. If you've recently participated in such a scenario, you might need a breather. Here's how you can find some refreshment today while reflecting on the latest "Heart reflections" painting. 

"Refresh!" 2025. Oil on canvas, 30cm x 30cm

The orange slice resembles a wheel, symbolizing the idea that what goes around comes around. It also symbolizes the revitalizing words and actions that can provide necessary refreshment to someone who needs helpful kindness.

While observing the painting, the viewer is invited to reflect on the current circumstances, its causes and effects. 

Upon further contemplation, the viewer is invited to distance from the ongoing competitive "games." Maybe extending kindness or support to someone in need could also provide the viewer with a sense of refreshment?

"A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” - Proverbs 11:25
