Chaos. Energy. Joy. Charlene has taken the classical concept of the "One Hundred Children" and given it a massive sugar rush.
This intricate illustration features a sprawling modern playground design, complete with twisting tunnels and a spinning merry-go-round. It is a "Where’s Waldo" of prosperity, featuring exactly 100 unique characters playing, hiding, and exploring.
There is an old superstition attached to this imagery. They say that if you sit down and count every single child up to the number 100, you invite the energy of fertility into your life. In short: if you aren't ready for a baby, maybe stop counting at 99!
