Description:
Light lingers even as it fades.
This work explores the tension between brilliance and erosion — where gilded gold leaf meets weathered shadows. Rich metallics shimmer through layers of ink and paint, evoking the grandeur of an antique surface worn by time. Ornamental patterns surface and recede, like memories etched into walls, whispering of beauty that endures even as it fades.

Original 18 by 24 inches
