Hidden Love

Concept Note : This idea came to me when i observed several times that the conversation of the tough love between a father-son relationship was brought up by different persons in many circumstances.I know many persons who were not able to show their love or hug their father before they die. But still the love between them were shared unconsciously through good actions and intentions. This artwork was created to show the hidden love between the father and his son.
