Be the Light

This striking mixed-media painting is divided into two bold halves—cool blue on the left and warm orange on the right—symbolizing contrast, duality, and balance. At the center stands a stylized figure with an afro, split down the middle to mirror the background. From the chest radiates a glowing white light, anchored by a small red heart, suggesting inner strength, healing, and the transformative power of love.

Handwritten across the canvas are the affirmations:

“Love does not hurt, Love heals” at the top

“Let your Love light SHINE!” at the bottom

Together, the imagery and words create a powerful message of resilience and renewal—an invitation to embrace love as a source of light, not pain.
