Rebirth
the awesome potentials of a new dawn
About Rebirth
This stirring and inspirational depiction highlights a spectacle of colours with golden vibrancy to evoke the awesome potentials of a new dawn. The biblical symbolism of the ark of Noah, its travails now hollow and long disembarked, is positioned off to the edge of the left frame of the large canvas. Spiritually, the left side is often associated with the severities and consequences of the past. Only half of the heart-shaped ark appears on the canvas, alluding to a broken heart.
Strikingly, this past is overwhelmed by a full spectrum of post-deluge dawning and rebirth. This funnelling forth of a flurry of entwining hues subtly encapsulates the symbolism of the Noahide rainbowed covenant: humanity's charge to learn from our greater diversity.
The flourishing and spiralling rays emanating from a funnel-like sun hovering above the horizon's edge project a dawning for transcendence that draws latent potentials and unconscious gifts into a stage for greater fulfillment. These sun-kissed visages of an embracing covenant of restoration attest to a lasting invitation for all to reconcile with their greater Divinity.
