“Left in the Dark” isolates a lone figure in a void of shadow, their body illuminated by a narrow, almost celestial beam that feels less like salvation and more like exposure. Kneeling at the threshold between light and nothingness, the figure becomes a study in vulnerability—caught in the moment where surrender, longing, and the quiet ache of endurance converge.

The surrounding darkness isn’t empty; it presses inward, giving the light a fragile, flickering quality. In this suspended space, the painting transforms a simple posture into a quiet reckoning, inviting viewers to consider what it means to be seen only when everything else falls away.

PART OF THE PALE WATCHERS COLLECTION

In Ashen Wings, grace and mortality intertwine in a haunting meditation on loss and transcendence. The figure, suspended in monochrome, seems neither alive nor entirely gone — a spirit paused between flight and surrender. Each curve and shadow evokes the memory of movement, yet the stillness speaks louder, echoing with the weight of things forgotten. Here, wings become both symbol and shroud, embodying the fragile tension between ascension and decay. Through its stark contrast and sculptural light, the piece invites quiet reflection on what it means to fade beautifully — to fall, yet still hold form.

In "Grey Habit," the act of smoking becomes less a gesture of desire than one of survival — a ritual carved into the stillness of isolation. The grayscale palette strips the moment of warmth, leaving only texture, breath, and the slow dissolve of time. Her gaze drifts somewhere beyond the frame, detached yet deliberate, as if searching for meaning in the repetition itself.

Here, smoke replaces confession. Each exhale blurs the boundary between control and surrender — a portrait not of addiction, but of the quiet persistence it takes to keep feeling nothing at all.

I created this virtual portrait to represent "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The woman (a model I referenced; she has no direct correlation to the story) is covering her mouth to symbolize the narrator's fear and loss of freedom. The overall dark colors and close framing create a mood of confinement, mirroring how the narrator feels mentally and physically trapped. Overall, the portrait represents a theme of emotional and psychological isolation shown throughout the story.

A meditation on the quiet erosion of self, where light consumes memory and form drifts into shadow.

In the space between presence and absence, identity becomes a whisper.

In this piece, the figure emerges from darkness—half-formed, half-forgotten—caught between what was and what could be. The work explores the fragile tension of transformation: the quiet ache of shedding old selves, the gravity that pulls us toward growth even when it feels like ruin.

The strokes remain unfinished on purpose; they mirror the incompleteness of identity itself. Here, becoming is not a destination but a state of suspension—a moment where strength and vulnerability are indistinguishable.

We do not rise untouched; our own undoing sculpts us.

“If Only It Were Enough” explores the quiet ache of self-comfort — the fragile attempt to fill loneliness with one’s own touch. It’s about the strength in trying, and the sadness in knowing some parts of us still long to be held by another.
