60/100 - Protector
The gentle giant is a common narrative trope that also works well visually. It's always fun to draw something big and something tiny in the same frame, directing attention even to a single dot, highlighting its fragility compared to the whole. And that's where I find the emotional punch: in this desire to protect small growing things we are always a kind of gentle giant, and I think the assumption here is that being gentle requires effort, especially for a giant. Being gentle is a form of power, is a form of work, it can take learning and skill, and that's the acknowledgement I like in the image.
Yet, it seems we can only focus on a few small things at the time, those that escape our attention outnumber the ones that make it in, and there is nothing we can do about it. Inevitably focusing on a single object of protection puts others at harm's way, which is the other constant problem of the giant: merely being in the world is crushing it, a walking giant brings destruction with every step regardless of care or attention. It's not easy being a caring giant.
