Vision & Spirit, 2020

Vision and Spirit; Two elongated, otherworldly figures rise from the roots of an ancient tree, their forms both gentle and uncanny, as if grown rather than born. Between them hangs a single luminous fruit, glowing like a quiet revelation in the dark—something not merely to be eaten, but understood. One figure gazes outward with hollow, light-filled eyes, while the other turns inward, its single eye contemplative, suggesting a balance between perception and reflection, vision and spirit. The surrounding night breathes with stillness, scattered with stars and small bursts of life, as though the entire scene exists within a suspended moment of sacred attention. In this painting, the fruit becomes a symbol of hidden knowledge or awakening, and the guardians—neither wholly benevolent nor forbidding—embody the threshold one must approach with both wonder and caution, for what is revealed cannot be unseen.
