I feel the word is HOPE rising from the ashes. This is the first canvas I painted for 2020. Began before “City on Fire” and finished after, it is a partner to the story. It is the sequel to Australia’s bushfire crisis.
Bursting from the flames, regenerated, reborn: the life cycle begins again. At times we feel beyond the ability to recover, but the human spirit finds a way. There is always a new day rising. The ancient mythical phoenix symbolizes the innate nature of humanity to rise above diversity. Hope is our most valued treasure.
