Lightning

Light Show children entertaining themselves during a climate diaster

In Lightning, I imagine young people discovering that they can summon lightning—a metaphor for empowerment in a collapsing world. Each spark represents agency, resistance, and renewal. I layer photography, digital collage, and drawing to merge science and spirit, myth and reality. These children command the elements with both awe and caution; they know their gift is dangerous but necessary. The series reflects on what it means to inherit a broken planet yet still find wonder within it. The power of lightning becomes the power of understanding—how fear transforms into control, and survival becomes art.
