Created amidst the chaos of the pandemic and civil unrest in the summer of 2020, "Sprouting Hope" ties in the theme of contrast through the juxtaposition of the imagery and the color scheme. The darkness of the skull, both visually and conceptually, is powerfully contrasted with the levity of the bright yellow background and perky daisy that symbolizes rebirth and a period of growth. The blending technique in the background of this piece closely resembles that in "Mother and Child."
