I decided to draw like the core temple and the basilica. They're like in close proximity to each other and one night, it was really late out, and I saw both their silhouettes in the moonlight, and to me, that was very beautiful, so I wanted to capture that. And hope to me is coexisting. It's finding ways to be beautifully ourselves and shout and express what we believe in despite of other truths because what we believe in is who we are. We as humans make testimonies to the world and everything we do. We make testimonies in our vow to a faith, culture, or religion or even in court. Testimonies to me are proof of truths. Being who we are and presenting ourselves as such is just us humans, making an oath to our autonomy and proving our identity. And at times when hope feels void. I look to nature and I look to happy little creatures, places or things that all continue to coexist despite their differences. The core temple glows in the moonlight of a colorful sky. Its silhouette of pointy and round temple pieces, illuminate the sky next to the grandiose of the basilica temple. These 2 buildings are in close proximity. There are silhouettes creating a burning impression on the sky. These are testimonies. This is hope.
