Where Light Begins
Acrylic, Recycle jute and embroidery on canvas
122 x 91 cm
Sometimes the first light does not appear on the horizon—it begins within us.
Where Light Begins is a reflection on the quiet moment when we begin to truly see. Bathed in the warmth of the sun, the figure turns towards a new beginning while a hummingbird hovers nearby, a gentle reminder of hope, resilience, and the beauty of fleeting encounters.
A delicate embroidered flower blooms across her back like a tattoo, suggesting the invisible marks left by growth, healing, and lived experience. Hand embroidery and reclaimed jute become part of the painting itself, adding texture and depth while celebrating the beauty of slow, mindful craftsmanship.
This piece is an invitation to pause, embrace stillness, and trust that every meaningful journey begins with a quiet light within.
