This piece was created in response to a challenge to stylize and compose a moving work of art that conveys a symbolic gesture depicting loss, disenchantment and yet demonstrates hope. In my mind, I readily pictured a young woman, attractive and determined to remain steadfast in her beliefs. The symbolic notes in this painting are the contrasts of darkness to light. The colors represent mortality and rebirth and the yellow brings to light optimism and hope. She holds her heart (values) close and is determined to hold fast to her beliefs. "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." Luke 6:45
