Starchild
"Starchild" by Will Kasso Condry is an evocative painting that embodies a deeply personal journey of hope, love, and resilience. This artwork represents the spirit child that emerged from the dreams of a couple yearning to conceive after marriage.
In February 2018, a significant turning point occurred when the artist’s wife underwent surgery to remove her thyroid due to a cancerous tumor. This pivotal event is symbolically depicted in the painting, with a meteorite crashing through the child’s neck, echoing the challenges and changes they faced. The removal of her thyroid led to early menopause, altering their path to parenthood, but rather than give up, they embraced the spirit of their hoped-for child—whom they lovingly named “Starchild.”
“Starchild”, symbolized as the hummingbird often seen in Juniper Creative’s community murals, represents transformation and connection to the spirit of nature. As an ethereal being, Starchild has the unique ability to manifest as any pollinator found in our physical world, bridging the realms of nature and spirit. "Starchild" is more than a painting - it symbolizes the lasting bond between the couple and their hoped-for child.
“Starchild” is also a character in The Afro-Pollinator series as the younger brother of “Kelis the Afronaut,”—the first character in the series—he journeys alongside her, seeding joy in every corner they explore. “Starchild” serves as a poignant reminder of the innocence and potential of youth, emphasizing the importance of honoring and respecting the younger generation as stewards of the future. Together, they illustrate the interconnectedness of all beings, encouraging us to nurture our bonds with each other and the environment. In a world that often forgets to celebrate the innocence of youth, “Starchild” invites us to embrace their essence and recognize our shared responsibility in fostering a harmonious existence.
This artwork is a testament to the power of love, hope, and creativity. It stands as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the spirit of our dreams can live on through art.
