Hope
One of the most important messages the world needs to hear and feel right now is that of hope. Portraying hope, as rays of light reach out over a field of flowers, the community in isolation but working together in faith that this will be overcome. Using metaphors from nature, representing the community as flowers and essential workers as pollinators going about their vital work in their own little bubbles. They distance but stay connected for the benefit of the community, reminding us how delicate but at the same time how resilient they are (like flowers and bees). As light reaches the individual bubbles, they burst freeing the creatures inside, portraying the time when we can come out of isolation. The earth is represented by Mother Nature who continues to give rise to pollinators and flowers. I purposely chose a black woman to represent Mother Nature, as Africa is known as the Cradle of Civilization, I feel more images of black people represented in a positive light must be made more visible and of course due to the current situation where if I stay silent, I too am guilty.
