Aligned, 36 x 36 in, Oil on Panel

In this painting, I wanted to capture a moment of surrender that feels both earthly and transcendent. The figure arches back, her gesture opening toward something larger, while the gilded square anchors her in a field of light. The gold evokes sacred icons and timeless devotion, yet here it becomes a frame for movement and breath, for the human body caught between gravity and grace. It’s about alignment — not only of form, but of spirit and space.
