The Weight of Light

The Weight of Light is a pictorial reflection on the tension between clarity and shadow. Yellow and green expand like a luminous field striving to break through, while darker strokes contain and embrace it, reminding us that light never emerges without resistance.

 

Here, shadow is not absence but counterpoint: the inevitable weight that accompanies all existence. Each stroke of the spatula embodies this vital clash, where beauty is revealed through contrast. As part of the Scars of the Planet series, this canvas reminds us that every life carries its own weight, and that within the tension between light and darkness lies the essence of what it means to be human.
