“Begin Again” portrays a poignant yet hopeful scene of renewal and justice. The piece centers on two doves, each crafted with elegant, hand-like forms. One dove lies on its back, motionless, evoking a sense of loss and despair as it appears to be near death. The other dove soars above, vibrant and full of life, clutching a branch of leaves in its beak. These leaves, rich with symbolism, represent both life and justice. In an act of grace, the flying dove reaches toward the fallen one, as if offering the leaves to restore its life and dignity. The composition creates a dynamic tension between struggle and renewal, inviting viewers to reflect on cycles of justice, restoration, and the eternal hope for new beginnings.
