This pencil drawing I call “The Pursuit” captures a powerful moment from the film The Pursuit of Happyness, a movie that resonates deeply with me and so many others because of its raw depiction of perseverance, love, and the human spirit. This scene between father and son reflects a moment of tenderness amidst struggle. I aimed to convey the emotion in their expressions, the exhaustion, the hope, and the quiet strength that defines their journey. This movie is a story of resilience in the face of adversity. It speaks to the universal desire to overcome obstacles, provide for loved ones, and find dignity in the struggle. Through this drawing, I wanted to honor that message—to show not just the struggle but the love that fuels perseverance.
