| Summary: | The creation of this drawing series originates from the writer’s mental state as they strive to
rise above the cumulative sadness, partly from family pressures. When the writer sheds
poignant tears, they observe the dispersion of light resulting from the refraction of these tears.
Tears are synonymous with sorrow, while light is often associated with spirituality and divinity.
Physically, light consists of a spectrum of colors, and watercolor, with its diverse range of hues,
becomes an apt medium for depicting light. In truth, light does not exist independently. It only
becomes visible in the presence of darkness. The inseparable duality of light and darkness
persists. According to Pavese, art is not merely about representing external reality; it also
portrays the inner reality of the artist, including dreams, emotions, and obsessions. Darkness
symbolizes desolation, grief, and somberness, while light represents moments of resurgence,
vitality, tranquility, and zeal. This final project serves as a personal expression of resurgence,
showcasing visual light alongside its counter-dependent, darkness, derived from feelings and
intuition.
