This painting was born during a time when the world felt especially fragile — when uncertainty and loss weighed heavily, and yet, the smallest gestures of care held immense power.

As I worked on this piece, I imagined someone standing in the quiet dark, gently cradling a single candle. The hands are warm and strong, yet tender — perhaps those of a mother, a friend, or even a stranger offering comfort. The soft glow of the flame becomes more than light; it becomes a symbol of resilience, remembrance, compassion, and faith in the future.

I painted this image as a quiet tribute — to those who carry light for others even in the darkest times. It’s a reminder that even the faintest flame can illuminate a path forward. Whether it speaks of mourning, of prayer, or of renewal, this painting holds space for reflection, for healing, and for the gentle promise that hope still burns.
