Living in the Light of Hell’s Shadow is a meditation on purgatory, morality, and the fragile space between redemption and damnation. These works imagine souls waiting at the gate of judgment, uncertain whether they will be granted release or condemned for their earthly deeds. The figures are layered in charcoal and torn paper, their fragmented forms echoing the brokenness of memory, choice, and consequence.

 

Children also appear in this landscape, their innocence contrasted with the weight of inherited sins. The series asks whether the abused, neglected, or wronged will rise to confront those who harmed them when the final reckoning comes. These images are not answers, but visions — warnings, laments, and prayers — shaped from the raw textures of paper and the heavy blackness of charcoal.
