Titled after a Rumi quote.
A figure emerges from shadow and light, their gaze lifted as though searching for something beyond the frame. Rust-colored hair flares like fire against a storm of blacks, blues, and whites, while faint circles and markings surface beneath the layers — symbols of thought, memory, and the unseen structures that guide us. There is both softness and defiance in the face, an openness to possibility.
This work reflects the truth of Rumi’s words: when you follow what you love, beauty seeps through even the chaos.

All sales are final, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions before you buy—I’m happy to help!

To keep things safe in transit, I don’t ship glass. Any framed images you see are mock-ups to spark ideas and help you imagine how the art could shine in your space.

Also: Original works on paper often do have small irregularities, which is one of the things that makes them unique and part of the hand of the artist.

Thanks for supporting original art and for giving it a beautiful new home!
