No matter how dark things may seem right now, there is always a brighter future waiting just around the corner. Those who know me well frequently comment on my positive, upbeat demeanor, so I attempted to convey this aspect of my personality in this work of art. I want the viewer to feel connected to what the girl is hoping for and to see that there is always a reason to hope for a bright future.
