A New Hope

Painting by Zsófi Balogh

I painted it to represent how even just a little bit of light can seep in and provide the right amount of warmth to create new growth in something that seems dead. So too, the light of Christ brings us up and out of the darkness in our lives. Even when we think that the darkness is providing security it is in fact contributing to our own demise.
