Renewal

Renewal
Mamaroneck, NY

Created from the inside of a discarded dryer. The pulley wheel at the top represents COVID-19. The black areas represent the darkness of the pandemic and mourning. The gray splotches represent uncertainty complemented by the abstract linear patterns that represent the many unexpected turns in life. The soft pastel pinks and yellows represent the light of a new dawn just before the sun rises above the horizon since we still await this sunrise when the pandemic recedes. The earthen tones represent life and recovery for through it all we will persevere and LIVE! The vibrant reds represent love, fortitude and renewal for through love and the fact we are “human strong” we shall overcome. The face represents the day our “sorrow will be turned to joy” [John 16:20] and the pandemic is nothing more than a distant memory.

A nouveau BRAVO William..
ta création est superbe et est bien le reflet de la réalité
comme tu la ressens et beaucoup de nous la ressentent ainsi.
ton texte très explicatif, nous apporte une belle synthèse des évènements
mais aussi l'espoir comme tu le dis à la fin du texte,
la tristesse se transformera en joie et la pandémie ne sera plus qu'un lointain souvenir.!

Wow. William, you've totally outdone yourself with this one. Right off the bat, that smile just did it for me! The colors of this piece and the interesting shapes had me staring. Reading about your inspiration made me say, "WOW!" because it's so perfect, so hopeful, so "nail-on-the-head"...

Let's cross our fingers for the "distant memory" of Covid as time marches forward...
