Reflection is based on what people can see from their day-to-day life. It is about finding hope in everything by making use of basic shapes. “For me, each day is a new beginning. I thought of bending the brass sheet to depict the rising sun. I believe that people through their actions can be an inspiration to others. I utilized mirror polished stainless steel balls to portray the ripple & snowball effect. I deem that praying to God can be a source of trust, just like what Jesus did. I used a stainless square tube and had it painted; representing a mountain. I think that the view from a high place enables a person to look at the bigger picture. I brought into play wooden cubes to symbolize land and structures that are earthbound. With what we are currently facing, I continue to have faith in God. I believe that he has a good reason why we should go through this pandemic. He is our creator. He made the earth and all creatures, including us, human beings, which all have a purpose in this life. In the same way, I wish that my artwork served a purpose. I wanted people to realize after they see it that hope is all around us. It can be obtained on a new day, from a high place, in people, and with God.”
