Artwork Description

"In a Flash" embodies the fleeting yet profound metamorphosis of spirit, inspired by Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem "That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the comfort of the Resurrection." The painting melds vivid colors and fluid forms to visually narrate the transition from earthly turmoil to serene transcendence.
