Midnight Reverie

Midnight Reverie captures the silent, electric moment of a late-night epiphany. The deep, matte blacks of the background are contrasted with the shimmering, tactile surface of 24k gold leaf. This work explores the duality of darkness and light, suggesting that the most profound insights often emerge from the deepest shadows. The application of gold leaf was done using a traditional water gilding method, giving it a unique, mirror-like quality in certain lights.
