HOPE

ØRYI SITS ABOVE THE WORD HOPE, SURROUNDED BY OVERSIZED LETTERS THAT TURN A SIMPLE WORD INTO A PHYSICAL PLACE.

THE WORK SPEAKS ABOUT THE NEED TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING EVEN WHEN THE WAY FORWARD IS NOT YET CLEAR. HOPE IS NOT PRESENTED AS A PROMISE THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE EASY, BUT AS THE QUIET STRENGTH THAT KEEPS US MOVING, CREATING AND BELIEVING.

ØRYI, SMALL IN COMPARISON TO THE LETTERS AROUND HIM, BECOMES A SYMBOL OF THAT IDEA: SOMETIMES WE DON’T NEED TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. WE JUST NEED SOMETHING STRONG ENOUGH TO SIT ON, HOLD ON TO, AND KEEP GOING.

HOPE IS NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
IT IS BELIEVING THERE IS STILL SOMETHING AHEAD.
