Each day starts with high hopes that a new day brings. The downward represents the challenges and struggles we all encounter throughout a day, month, year or lifetime. The upward arch is the renewal that a new day brings. Hope restored.

“The Choice”

A thin yellow line (not visible in the photo) forms a band around the cubes indicating the narrow margin between these two choices. The suspended cube in the middle indicates the balancing act is always at play.
