1926 was the year my dad was born.

 

People born between 1926 and 1945 were referred to as the Silent Generation. These are people who lived through World War II. The name comes from a 1950s article in Time magazine, which alludes to the fact that the children of this generation were taught to be seen and not heard.

​

This art piece combines traditional materials with contemporary techniques, embodying the Silent Generation's characteristics. The subdued colors reflect my father's quiet strength and resilience, narrating a story of hard work and stability while reminding us of their lasting influence.
