"Trying Your Luck" delves into themes of struggle and resilience through a collage of contrasting elements. The recurring motif of rocks symbolises the dual nature of our burdens—they can weigh us down, yet they also possess an inherent weightlessness when viewed differently. The juxtaposition of vibrant colours and abstract forms against a muted background signifies the tension between aspiration and reality. The piece also hints at the ritual of the "lucky last cigarette," a historical symbol of chance and fate, adding another layer of introspection about navigating challenges and seizing opportunities.
