In this sketch, I aim to illustrate the delicate balance a father must maintain between
his work and family responsibilities. On one side, he carries his work materials,
symbolizing his professional obligations, while on the other side, he holds his son,
representing his family commitments. This visual metaphor highlights the dual roles
a father must juggle daily.
In the background, I have drawn a watch that is cracking down the middle. This
symbolizes the personal time a father sacrifices to fulfill his duties at work and at
home. The cracking watch conveys the idea that, in the process of balancing these
responsibilities, a father often neglects his own needs and personal time.
This sketch is a tribute to all fathers worldwide, acknowledging the sacrifices they
make and the time they selflessly dedicate to their families and careers. It’s a heartfelt
recognition of their relentless efforts to maintain harmony and balance in their lives.
