In this charcoal drawing, the stage is set against a backdrop of wispy clouds and an expansive sky. But what captures the squirrel's attention is the panda—a gentle soul away on a cluster of balloons. The panda wears an expression of quiet resolve, its black-and-white fur contrasting against the sky. The balloons tug it upward, pulling it away from the squirrel, from their shared moments, and from the familiar world below.

The squirrel's gaze follows the panda, its little heart heavy with farewell. Perhaps they had been friends, companions in this forest, and now they face an inevitable parting. The squirrel's mournful eyes convey both longing and acceptance. And so, against the backdrop of the boundless sky, the squirrel and the panda share a silent goodbye—one grounded, the other ascending. The charcoal strokes capture the delicate balance between attachment and release, leaving the viewer with a sense of both loss and hope.
