The New Dawn Blooms As We Free It
2023
Made with acrylic, strontium aluminate, crushed glass, varnish, water, and light.
Title taken from my new favorite poet Amanda Gorman's poem, The Hill We Climb. It was recited at the Presidential Inaugural Address on January 20th, 2021, which just happens to be the day we moved to Maui. It gave me chills. The last few lines read:
When day comes, we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we're brave enough to be it.
Honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard/read.
