Two children walk together through a flower field with beautiful red flowers, where everything is niog beautiful and cheerful. They head towards a dark forest where they have to get through to get where they want to be. They go together. At the end, the beautiful red light is shining, indicating that their goal has been achieved.
The painting is about friendship and overcoming difficult things in life together.
The true north is your inner feeling, or your calling, of what you want to achieve in your life. It is a combination of your values, your beliefs and your goal. It keeps you on the right path that is true for you. And it's different for everyone. There are no two people for whom it were the same thing ....
This applies to children like no other. They are still close to their inner feelings and are still full of expectations about what they want and can achieve in life.
