Lunation
18 × 24 × 1.5 Inches, Acrylic & Oil on Canvas - 2025
There are nights when we vanish.
When light forgets our name
and shadow does the keeping.
Even then—
something gathers.
A pulse beneath the dark,
a shimmer preparing to return.
We wax, we wane,
we learn the shape of absence.
Each dimming, a rehearsal for radiance;
each glow, the echo of what was hidden.
Creation requires both—
the seen and the unseen,
the brightness and the breath between.
This is not disappearance.
It is becoming—
again and again and again.
Collector Notes:
Reflecting the cyclical nature of creation, Lunation is the quiet necessity of shadow within the pursuit of light. Layers of acrylic and oil form a surface that shifts with illumination, echoing the moon’s own waxing and waning. Soft gradients of gray, blue, and silver evoke terrain glimpsed through changing atmospheres, while texture carries the rhythm of renewal. The work suggests that growth is not linear but tidal: that each retreat, each unseen phase, holds its own form of illumination. It is both an homage to the lunar body and a meditation on the artist’s inner orbit—where absence, too, is part of the light.
