"Clinging to Light" is an oil painting on pure copper leaf, whose patinaed surface provides a rich, textured backdrop of depth and warmth. The young opossum, delicately rendered in fine detail, appears suspended in a moment of vulnerability and quiet resilience. The interplay between the luminous copper and the soft fur of the subject underscores a balance between fragility and strength, inviting reflection on perseverance and the quiet tenacity of life.
