#Revive Tomorrow#

Our ideas are expressed through symbolism of colour and shape where red strips equate to natural elements and strips of purple represent life itself. Blue strips stand for the essential elements of life such as water. Land points to exploited earth. The ball is the key or button needed to recover our world. Why is it floating upon the ocean? The first sign of life came from the ocean. These uses of natural forms symbolize human attempts to dominate and exploit nature. The mountain refers to the Old Testament because humans desired to be on an equal footing as God, but were condemned. Colours and violent brushstrokes communicate a sense of frustration due to the destroyed land and the resulting atmosphere of despair. The structural impression of nature in harmony yields an idea of the organic sphere, so suggesting that the elements are key to reviving the future in our cycle of life. The audience can scan the artwork and thus symbolically revive the future.
