A Story of Unity and Opportunity Told Through the Color Blue
Why blue is a symbol of hope for architect Christian Benimana
In his triptych Blueing Hope Christian Benimana has created digital drawings exploring how blue is ''a calm messenger which paves the way before the sun rises and lays the foundations on which the hope brought by the first ray of sun stands."

Blue is an Invitation
"It is a gentle reminder of a chance we have to begin afresh; an open invitation to try again, to correct what we haven't done properly in the past, and do better today."
Blue is a Symbol of Opportunity
As Christian says "The first ray of the sun is the universal symbol of hope, but the calm blue of the dawn remains the symbol of opportunity and a new beginning for me."
Blue is a foundation
''Blue lays the foundations on which the hope brought by the first ray of sun stands. We feel fortified to face the reality ahead of us.''
Blue carries our dreams
'Blue just before unifie ideas of hope and new beginnings, and carries our dreams into our waking days. Though dreams that are restricted only to Africa, for me it means much more to a continent often described as the Dark Continent.''
