"Lighthouse" was a custom piece created as part of a collaboration with a friend, who invited artists to visually interpret poems for their upcoming book. The painting depicts a raging storm with lightning cracking through the sky, waves tossing an abandoned boat, and a teddy bear submerged underwater—symbols of a lost childhood swept away by the chaos of life. Amid the turmoil, a solitary figure stands at the top of a lighthouse, gazing toward the horizon as the beacon cuts through the darkness, offering guidance and hope. The lighthouse serves as a reminder of stability and direction amidst life’s storms, a reflection on finding our way as we navigate the inevitable loss of innocence. More about this piece and its poetic inspiration can soon be found in the author’s book soon.
