That Eye

This painting is a raw, textured close-up of an eye, capturing a moment of profound vulnerability. The overall heavy texture and muted colors reflect the internal static and the overwhelming noise of the world. It was inspired by seeing the look in the eye of someone who was utterly lost, yet desperately seeking a sparkle of hope to survive. The stark, brilliant white light in the pupil is that defiant spark—the soul’s refusal to be extinguished amidst the chaos.
