I want to see the world in color again

"People experience a great delight in colour, generally. The eye requires it as much as it requires light." — J. W. von Goethe

«People experience a great delight in colour, generally. The eye requires it as much as it requires light. We have only to remember the refreshing sensation we experience, if on a cloudy day the sun illumines a single portion of the scene before us and displays its colours.»
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In a rapidly changing world I struggle to imagine a hopeful future. I find myself thinking about the world our children will grow into and what will be waiting for them there. While the broader horizon feels uncertain, I turn inward.

I work with black-and-white photographs, painting selected elements with acrylic using simple lines and shapes inspired by op art and geometric abstraction. For me color is a way of seeing the world differently. If the world around us resists optimism, I choose to construct my own — shaping a hopeful microcosm for my children.
