Ligia Macovei invites us into a wistful, dreamlike world, with her watercolor, depicting a child flying a kite. The kite itself—a diamond shape soaring against the expansive sky—embodies aspiration, freedom, and the ephemeral nature of dreams. It's a symbol that transcends time and space. We see kites depicted in ancient Chinese art as emblems of innovation, and in European Romantic paintings as symbols of man's reach for the heavens. Notice how the simple act of flying a kite has echoed across cultures, each time carrying new emotional weight. As a motif, it reappears to mirror our timeless desire to rise above earthly constraints and connect with something beyond ourselves. Here, the kite is less about technical prowess and more about the yearning for something intangible. This image engages us on a deep, subconscious level. A collective memory that taps into our shared human experiences. A fleeting moment, full of hope and wonder. A symbol that will resurface and evolve, taking on new meanings in different contexts.
