Artwork Title: New Dawn Year Completed: 2020 Size: 30”X30” Medium: Embellished photography & digital art on canvas Artwork Statement: The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep” Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi “New Dawn” is an Ekphrastic artwork in which I am trying to relate to the current circumstances by describing its essence and form in a vivid visual art. A descriptive rhetorical form of art telling the entire real story in a virtual yet spiritual way. The sentiment of the artwork that shows the rising dawn around the globe yet the uniting element of “The Mask” continues to dominate the fearful hopes in the eyes. Using the “Cactus” as The Mask reveals pain yet survival and patience which prevails on colorful grounds and horizons. “To Heal The World”, a “New Dawn” shall rise!
