2020 is a year that will be etched in our memories. The impact of Covid-19 has fundamentally altered our perspective on societal norms and highlighted the importance of individual care and concern for our community. The year was marred by negativity and a draining energy that stifled creativity for many, including myself.
"A Silver Lining" represents my attempt to usher in 2021 with a positive outlook. This piece brims with uplifting energy, encapsulating a burst of positivity akin to a silver lining that signals the conclusion of a dark and somber period.
