In discussions of artificial intelligence, developmental psychology offers a revealing lens: how we learn, adapt, and construct meaning as children often mirrors the way societies encounter new technologies. Hopscotch Worship, a pastel on black paper, becomes a striking visual metaphor in this regard. The playground, drawn in luminous colors against the dark ground, recalls the childhood game of hopscotch, in which children internalize patterns of order, rhythm, and progression. Developmental theory suggests that these games are not mere pastimes but formative exercises in sequencing, rule-following, and symbolic representation. The dark background suggests the unstructured field from which such structures of play emerge, much as human imagination shapes meaning against the unknown. In this sense, the artwork highlights the continuity between early stages of cognitive growth and our cultural negotiations with AI: both are processes of learning to move step by step, balancing creativity with constraint, and transforming uncertainty into pathways of becoming.
