Artwork#1: “Roots of Learning”
By Yeoun Panha
The artwork emphasizes that education is a lifelong journey shaped by three key stages: the family as the first and most foundational learning environment, the school as the place for structured and formal education, and society as the space where individuals apply knowledge and grow through real-life experiences. Together, these stages build a strong and supportive path for personal and intellectual development.
The image begins with a light bulb, symbolizing the illumination of knowledge and understanding. This light reveals a beautifully arranged scene where books are stacked in the shape of a three-step staircase, supported by a tree — representing growth and strength.
