***Fruits of Hope [2]- A Story in White Collection***
*********************************************************
After all the fears, the uncertainty… I felt the need to look for peace and calm, comfort and hope, less noise and less color. So I kept simplifying till I reached the purity of white.

This collection tells stories about change and growth, about new beginnings, about the transmutation of Fear into Hope.

I used the contrast between the humble yet incredible paper, next to gold leaf and pearls, to symbolize the transmutation, the change that comes from within, when we realize the value of the simple things, when we find good in all the bad things that surrounds us.
I used white for it’s meaning of purity, innocence, wholeness and completion. As a symbol of new beginnings, it is the blank canvas waiting to be written upon. It offers an inner cleansing and purifying of thoughts, emotions and spirit, allowing us to put the past behind us and find the courage to move on.
Hope rescues us from the dark.
