'The Radiance'

This piece stands as a solemn yet radiant confrontation with the inner abyss - a ceremonial moment where fear, anxiety, and shadow are no longer fled from, but met face-on with trembling dignity. The central form radiates a quiet, almost sacred symmetry, as beams of light carve their way through the murk like declarations of defiance, illuminating what once lurked unspoken.

It is a visual anthem to resilience - a reminder that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to hold it gently and still move forward.

As the artist so poignantly declares, “it’s not that we know that hope will triumph, but that if we do not hope, the darkness surely will.”
This work invites the viewer into that brave space where hope becomes an act of rebellion and grace, a quiet vow to stand illuminated in the face of one’s own storm - and remain, still, unbroken.

Dedicated to my son, Eli.
