I Have Loved the Stars Too Fondly to Be Fearful of the Night

“I Have Loved the Stars Too Fondly to Be Fearful of the Night”

Tempera on paper

This work is about the inner light that remains inside a person even during emotionally dark periods.

I wanted to create a feeling of dream, silence, and emotional dissolution. The yellow forms inside the cold blue space resemble flashes of memory, warmth, and hope that cannot completely disappear.

For me, this work exists somewhere between loneliness, inner transformation, and the light that continues living inside a person.
