The artworks in this collection speak to me because of the unique combinations of materials and composition that together create the beautiful and universal message of hope. The uplifting energy that emanates from these pieces reminds us that although we have different stories, all humans are made from the same physical elements; each of us comes from the same place in that way. It’s when we are synergistically interconnected with each other that our differences really shine, and environments that support this kind of individual blossoming inevitably create a whole that is so much greater than the sum of its parts. What could be better than that?
