Mothlight
Digital Painting
Mothlight is a digital painting that glows with fragile stillness. A single figure emerges from the dark, surrounded by pale, flickering moths. Her face is serene, but her eyes glimmer with something ancient — longing, maybe, or surrender.
Inspired by the myth of attraction to light and the softness of Romantic mourning portraits, this piece explores a yearning so quiet it becomes holy. The moths, delicate and luminous, are drawn to her — or she to them. Either way, it’s inevitable.
Part of the Salvation series, Mothlight is about gentleness as devotion. It’s about being seen by something small. About the ache of staying soft in a world that teaches you to turn away from the glow.

We Were Happy Once, Weren't We?
Digital Painting
We Were Happy Once, Weren’t We? is a digital painting that captures the fragile stillness of friendship after the warmth has faded. Two young women sit in pastel dresses, posed like a memory — soft, idyllic, and just slightly wrong. The light is tender. The space between them is not.
Inspired by Romantic portraiture and the codes of visual innocence, this piece explores the quiet grief of being left behind — not violently, but passively. A friendship dissolves not through betrayal, but neglect. No dramatic rupture. Just… distance.
Part of the Salvation series, We Were Happy Once, Weren’t We? examines emotional abandonment with sweetness and restraint. It's about what’s not said. About rituals of girlhood that fail to hold. About realizing you were the only one still reaching out.
