WHERE LIGHT RESTS, SHADOWS FOLLOW

Oil on canvas, 50×70 cm

In Where Light Rests, Shadows Follow, two golden koi drift gently through a tranquil sea of light turquoise; a serene vision of beauty, hope, and clarity. Yet beneath them, soft shadows echo across the water’s surface, subtle reminders that even in our most luminous moments, we carry the quiet presence of all we’ve endured.
This piece is a reflection on the duality of the human experience; the coexistence of joy and memory, light and trace, movement and stillness. The koi represent the brightest version
of ourselves moving forward, while their shadows speak of resilience, depth, and the invisible weight of all that shapes us.
Executed entirely with palette knives, the textured layers invite viewers to pause; to feel, rather than analyze; and to recognize that hope, when touched with honesty, becomes all the
more profound.all.
