The look of hope ….

I planned on z2 being a novel about time and about change, but when I began writing it I did not realize the extent to which it would become, for me at least, a novel about hope. With my first two books, x0 and y1, I’ve enjoyed finding ways on my blogs to visualize the theme of each novel. However, while artwork and photography about peace and joy abound, I’ve discovered that the very concept of hope is harder to convey visually.

What does hope look like?

Is it this?

Or this?

Does it help to add words? I think it might.

Hope is a such a simple and universal concept, and yet so hard to capture in a single image.

I’ll keep trying however. There’s always hope. 🙂
