The future is bright
A colorful abstract painting of five people, including children and adults, gathered around a table, with some wearing sunglasses and various facial expressions.
A colorful illustration of two women smiling and touching foreheads, with vibrant, rainbow-colored hair and radiant patterns around their heads.
A painting of three people at a dinner table, two men and a woman, in a warmly lit room with red walls and fireworks in the background. They are engaged in conversation, with one man holding a glass of red wine, a woman showing a magazine or brochure, and the other man leaning in attentively.
A line drawing of a woman with long hair, her eyes closed, resting her head against her hand. The background has musical notes and staff lines, creating an artistic atmosphere.

The Future is Bright examines the emotional duality of anticipating the future, where hope and fear exist simultaneously. Each work is a self portrait, using sunbursts as recurring motifs for self discovery. The work follows a personal shift from anger toward a more grounded sense of acceptance.
