2025, Soft pastel on PastelMat board, 42 × 60 cm.
She stands at the edge of a quiet transformation not healed, not triumphant, but awakening. The light touches her gently, as if reminding her that even after the darkest nights, something soft can still rise.
Her gaze carries the weight of where she has been, yet also the fragile hope of where she might go. This is the moment when a wounded heart begins to open again, when pain loosens its grip and the first breath of possibility returns.
Life can feel overwhelming sometimes too heavy to bear but we must remember that a new day always comes. A new beginning. A fresh start. A quiet, promising turning point. No matter how dark it feels today, tomorrow will bring its own light, and light will always find a way through the dark.
This portrait is for the moments when life feels too heavy, a reminder that dawn always rises, and that even the faintest light can guide us toward a new beginning.
