Artist:
‘VIII’ is a light dynamic mural inspired by the tarot card for strength. After a year of such great pain and loss, I wanted to make an artwork about recovery as well as fortitude. Our wounds make us stronger and wiser, and taking time to heal is not weakness. The mural is painted with cyan and magenta ink on a white base. In natural or “white” light, the image is chaotic. However when combined with colored lights, the mural becomes layered and transient. The light sequence is designed to help soothe the viewer.
