Summary
In Transfiguration 2, I revisited the moment of radiant encounter within a square composition—distilling the ascent into pure stillness. The scene unfolds through soft transitions of crimson, peach, and light, inviting the viewer into quiet contemplation and renewal.
Artwork Statement
This painting is a meditation on transformation. By compressing the vertical ascent of the original Transfiguration into a centered square, I sought to capture the pause within revelation—the instant when everything stands illuminated and time seems to fold. The warm field carries a sense of awe and nearness, as if light itself were breathing.

Artist Reflection
Light pauses to breathe,
silence becomes shape.
In the center of the flame,
I find stillness enough to see.
