Hope and opportunity (2024)

As the title ‘Hope and opportunity’ suggests, this piece presents a dreamy image of exploring new possibilities amidst uncertain circumstances. A girl, wearing rabbit ears and a pink bow, emerges from the blue sea with only her upper body visible. The rabbit, often symbolizing ‘luck’ or ‘a new beginning,’ rests on the girl’s shoulder, implying a companion on a journey into the unknown. The girl’s reddish, seemingly bloodshot eyes suggest she has endured hardship, yet her gaze is fixed unwaveringly on the horizon. The stark contrast between the cold sea and the girl’s serene face, along with the rabbit’s warm presence, metaphorically expresses the inner resilience to persist in searching for ‘hope’ and ‘opportunity,’ even within a somber reality.
