Mixed Media. Artist's Statement: Beacon of Hope is an abstract representation of humanity's resiliency amidst the complexity brought by the pandemic. This work of art is subtly coated with golden metallic acrylic paint and a plethora of palette strokes creating a fissured asymmetrical design. The texturized cross-sectional pattern serves as a guiding light towards the new normal - filled with hope. We are in the middle of an unprecedented and challenging period of humanity and only through hard work, discipline, and teamwork can we totally overcome this adversity. As we work together, I am likewise hopeful that art may pave the way for light to shine in the lives of those who may need it most.
