Hope

After attending a Waif's concert, I was profoundly inspired by their song "Lighthouse" to create a visual interpretation of its lyrics. I depicted an elegant woman navigating her own boat towards a lighthouse, delicately holding bright yellow balloons. In my interpretation, the lighthouse symbolizes hope and guidance, while the woman rowing her boat embodies the concept of free will. I titled this painting "Hope," as it encapsulates my belief in the importance of individual agency in shaping one’s future.

“Lighthouse tall and grand
Standing on that cold headland
Shine your light across the sea
For a wayward sailor girl like me”.
- The Waifs
