Colors of Hope

by Monica Doan

 

 

This project creative artwork is a self-expression made from repurposed materials, including the canvas (an old IKEA photograph). I utilized tools and materials collected from the building I reside in, that would have otherwise been thrown out. All the colours presented are from this collection of options, with nothing left out; every unique material contributes a difference in this piece. As to where this final painting might go, I would like to give it back to the community to be hung in the lobby of our building; stating that it was made from the repurposed paint collection found here. There is a sense of hope that defies the racial barriers that colors over the black and white zebra stripes. A blossoming of flowers that can birth love and kindness for ourselves and each other. It just takes time to breathe and self-reflect in order to understand that empathy for yourself will paint benevolence and hope for others.
