Shadows and Light
"Shadows and Light" explores the duality of the human experience through a figure in misted blue and earth tones. The figure, partially obscured and blended into the background, evokes a sense of mystery and introspection. The rocky, textured background, initially unnoticed, symbolizes the hidden aspects of our shadow self. This nuanced layering invites viewers to reflect on their own inner depths, discovering light within darkness and the balance that comes from embracing both.
_"The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them."_ âThomas Merton
