This piece grew from my fascination with how light reveals history — the way even stone seems to glow under a quiet sky. I wanted to honor what remains standing, the structures and spirits that endure, still touched by light long after the world has gone still. Deep indigo tones and soft glazes of violet and gold create a dreamlike quality, as though the ruins breathe beneath the stars. For me, this painting became a reflection on endurance — how beauty lingers in the places we think of as broken, and how illumination can be both gentle and eternal.
