To Play Again brings to mind children in the playground. All are welcome and each expresses himself or herself without inhibition. The loose, loopy strokes suggest the abandon with which a child plays. A child approaches  his or her activity without any notion of fear or risk. It celebrates the blessedness of being human and young again – to be unstained by the fear of failure, rejection or disapproval. 

The use of bright, sharp colours speaks of the letting go of cynicism and skepticism and to instead see with the eyes of awe and wonder. That the differences work together is an invitation to once again recognise the beauty of the sacred and sublime in and around us. Can we not see that deep within each is pure goodness? 

With the stresses of the modern world not letting down, and mental health becoming an increasingly relevant, To Play Again, is a call to consider one’s own well-being and to strive towards holistic, balanced living. It hopes to initiate a conversation of what it means to adopt a different attitude in approaching our tasks and relationships as an act of being kinder towards ourselves.

In the ideal playground of life, there is little need to tread carefully because love is all around.
