There are places where earth and sky are not opposites, but reflections. Where stone remembers starlight. Where the ancient dark is not empty, but full of origin. This painting evokes the cave not just as shelter, but as sanctum—a living chamber carved from time, glowing with the memory of stars. Inspired by natural caverns and the mirrored stillness of underground water, the image transforms a geological space into a celestial one. Stalactites shimmer like nebulae, and the cave’s reflection becomes a cosmos unto itself. In myth and mystery, the cave is the womb of the world. It is the place of descent and return—of silence, of becoming. Inanna knew this path. So did Persephone. So do we, in our own quiet initiations. The Cave Remembers the Sky is a visual offering to that liminal space between darkness and revelation. A sacred hollow where grief can echo, and light is not extinguished—but distilled.
