WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE?

WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE?
2026 | Acrylic, spray paint & mixed media on canvas

Who Knows the Future? explores childhood, community and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Three crowned figures sit together within an ambiguous urban landscape, surrounded by fragments of language, architecture and symbols of aspiration.

The crowns represent potential rather than status—the idea that every young person carries the possibility of becoming something greater, regardless of where they begin. The figures are deliberately simplified and almost anonymous, allowing them to represent a wider generation rather than individual identities.

Across the surface, phrases such as “COULD BE STARS” and “WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE?” introduce questions rather than answers. The work reflects the uncertainty surrounding young people's futures while also holding onto the possibility of greatness.

The recurring red moon appears in the distance as a visual connection to the artist's wider body of work. It represents aspiration: something distant, visible and constantly present, even when the path towards it remains unclear.

The work ultimately asks the viewer to consider the potential contained within an unfinished future: Who decides what a child can become?
