This painting is a mirror to The Golden Thread I, and together, they make a whole, two opposite polarities that cannot exist without each other. They both started their existence straight onto the canvas, without a sketch or preparation. Each of them appeared at a perfect time, fulfilling the inner inquiries and closing the cycle while simultaneously opening a portal for something new.

We often juxtapose light and dark. Dark is often perceived as something negative, something we need to get rid of. Light is perceived as hope, life, and good… but the more I think about it, the more I understand how interconnected they are.

How important it is to walk both, how impossible it is to truly appreciate light without walking through sorrow and learning to honor the heavy, learn from it, and allow all the colors of life to be present and cherished. Turbulent times shape us, allowing us to navigate the darkness with the light in our hearts. They teach us to live in the moment. They also might swallow us all if we lose hope—a fragile balance of light and dark.
