Bright Future Ahead

PROMISE OF A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD

- Paper cutting art design by TAN-CHENG 譚正

A dynamic youth laps above the horizon casting her dream into the sky. Her left hand raising a torch with flame ablaze, so that the world could see the light of future. Her right hand is clutching a book inscribed the word “Baha’i” that is the Holy Writings of Baha’u’llah. In which He foretold of a New World Order

Behind her is the horizon of a future modern world. A World symbolized with modern tall skyscrapers and a satellite disk. Morning sun raised at it full shine, brightly crowning this dancing youth with the glory from high above.

This picture symbolizes the promise of the Baha’is for a bright future ahead. And this promise is in the hand of the young people with female playing the leading roles soon to come.

This picture is one of strength, majesty and hope, as visible in her torch and Holy book. Holding aloft a light that never fails, she represents courage of a progressive young generation lapping toward a bright new world.

This was a piece of paper cutting art of the last century in 1985 India. It was published as the cover of a Chinese deepening material of the Baha’is. Volume GLORY B.E. 143. in Malaysia. 

This was a piece of art of extraordinary creativity of paper cutting. When most artists create their art on paper with pen or brush. This piece of art was cut out of a piece of black hard paper. A time consuming paper cutting skill less artists in the world practice with.
