The hand that plucks the light seems to represent the various sounds of the world that are full of paradoxes... some want to embrace, protect, some want to restrain and control. Birds with their loud, sad blue chirping and white stars flying signify hope and choice that freedom and humanity are never singular and difficult to touch... there is always a space that occurs and always changes shape from one perspective to another. This painting asks a fundamental question... is freedom a light that gives humanity, or is it dazzling and can even blind the eyes of the heart?
