Revisiting and leaving comments on artworks I have favorited. For me I see this as an expression of a woman exploring the mysterious void - the flow of ethereal white 'waves' could be emotions explored or felt, past memories washing over her, or even her trying to get a glimpse of the future by peering into and parting the darkness. A powerful and mysterious piece that keeps the viewer captured by this vision.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and kind comment, Chrystyne! I did this one when I knew something had shifted in my life--something underground that had not come to the surface but was still felt. I could the sorrow and the disappointment but my brain would shut down on the why of it--I suppose to protect itself. What I love about imagery is so much more can come across and I wanted to have the sense deep mystery in how we know something without fully knowing..that our cognition is often so much deeper and preparing for those shocks. It took months for the source of this feeling to manifest and, when it did, I didn't feel helped for the knowing and that dreaded inevitability. I sure wish it had helped. The deep nowhere is a place felt without understanding or an allowance of full cognition. We do so much to protect ourselves! Thank you so much, for your comments--because they really did flow in the vein that I intended and I am happy that it met its mark!
