Artist Statement
“Be the Light” is inspired by Rumi’s timeless words, “If everything around you seems dark, look again, you may be the light.” This playful yet meaningful piece features a bright blue chicken wearing sunny yellow boots and a cheerful yellow hat, flashing a joyful yellow peace sign. The bold contrast of blue and yellow symbolizes hope, optimism, and inner radiance—reminding us that light often comes from within. With its quirky charm and uplifting message, this artwork celebrates the courage to shine even in dark moments.
“Aloka and the Monks Peace Walk Across Gervais Street Bridge” is a watercolor painting inspired by the Rumi quote, “The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” Created after walking behind the monks during their peace walk across the Gervais Street Bridge, this piece reflects the profound calm and collective energy of their journey through Columbia. The painting serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the quiet power of peace.
