Years ago, I saw a woman looking up at the sun with her eyes closed, completely oblivious to everything around her. She was purely enjoying the warmth the sun provided. That image embedded itself in my mind as one of the most peaceful moments I’ve ever witnessed. Whatever was happening around her in that instant, or in her personal life, she opted to pause and simply bask in the moment.

I chose to depict this rendition of my memory through a nature-oriented theme. Vine-like structures create her form, and she emerges from the water with nothing surrounding her except the soft, glowing colors of the sunrise. As she arches her back, exposing the front of her body to the light, her head tilts back, further opening her neck and chest to the warmth of the sun.

At first, I had the impression she was offering herself to the light, but I realized she was also receiving what the light had to give.

So often, we get caught up in our busy lives and forget to appreciate what is around us. The woman in my memory didn’t appear burdened by life - she seemed to be absorbing it.
