I came across a quote that articulates rather well my current explorations.
“Serenity is not freedom from the storm, it is peace amidst the storm” Anonymous
This piece speaks of this place for me.
Encaustic monotype - Surrender
This is what this piece looks like when it is backlit:
Being present in the storm and finding sanctuary in its eye. Surrendering to what is and in the process discovering the unseen.
Finding serenity by letting the light shine through.
