Materials:
Soft pastel on paper.
Description:
For this piece, I was thinking about the transition from darkness to light, a metaphor woven throughout Johannine literature. You know how your eyes sometimes stay fixed on a changing color or cloud during a sunrise until they suddenly refocus to reveal the bigger picture, and you realize just how different the sky looks from, say, three minutes ago? It’s a subtle yet powerful disruption.
