Artwork Description

Description: A young boy wearing a cowboy hat sits atop a tall camel, with binoculars around his neck and a satchel on his back. He gazes into the distance, filled with hope for the future. The camel stands tall, its head held high, mirroring its rider’s gaze. The surface texture is reminiscent of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures—raw yet refined. With symbolic undertones embedded in realism, the work presents a vivid, spiritual journey filled with tension and vitality. Interpretation: The four symbolic elements—traveler, satchel, binoculars, and camel—convey the modern human’s pursuit of spiritual belonging and an ideal life. The traveler walks through reality while dreaming of distant places. The camel bears the weight of faith, while the binoculars represent a longing for the unknown. It is both a lonely expedition and a deep inner quest—a meditation on life’s meaning and one’s own existence. View more of our Contemporary artworks and Old Masters artworks
