Description of the Artwork “Carrying the Light –Underwater”
"Carrying the Light Size: 26 x 38"" | 76 x 96 cm Materials: Oil on linen canvas Shipping: Rolled securely in a protective tube Description Carrying the Light explores the moment when we finally understand what we truly want and recognize how much of ourselves we have put aside because of fear, expectations, or limiting beliefs. Sometimes this realization brings an unexpected sense of lightness. A decision that once seemed impossible suddenly feels natural. We begin to trust ourselves, see a direction more clearly, and find the courage to move toward something we may have wanted for a long time. The figure moves through the water with her arms open, carried by its natural current. Her flowing hair follows the movement of the water, creating a feeling of freedom and release. Bright reflections move across her body like fragments of light, becoming a metaphor for the clarity that appears when we finally recognize our own direction.
