Serenity

The canvas is layered with earthy tones of orange, yellow, green, and gray, blended into an abstract, textured background that feels both grounding and luminous. The phrase unfolds across the surface, with the word serenity arranged vertically down the right side. This deliberate placement slows the viewer’s reading, mirroring the meditative rhythm of prayer and reflection.

The composition transforms a familiar invocation—the opening of the Serenity Prayer—into a visual meditation. The fragmented arrangement of letters suggests the process of seeking serenity: not immediate, but gradual, unfolding step by step. The textured background, with its interplay of warm and cool tones, evokes both the turbulence of life’s challenges and the calm that faith and acceptance can bring.
