Dow Phumiruk
https://artbydow.myportfolio.com/In young children, imagination is limitless. On a rainy day, a giant paper boat might sail to a faraway island with blue skies, where origami creatures await guests. This piece represents the resilience of children and celebrates their ability to dream up extraordinary adventures. When children are encouraged to explore the farthest reaches of their imaginations, they might grow up to become innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders.
