The Stair Within the Halo

Description

A woman’s profile contains a winding staircase, a faraway castle, a trail of sparks, and a single high-heeled shoe. A radiant oval surrounds her like a memory made visible. By placing the journey inside her silhouette, the artwork turns a remembered place into part of who she has become. The shoe hints at a familiar transformation, but the staircase suggests that the important part came afterward: the climb, the choice, and the distance still remaining. The castle may be remembered, imagined, or carried forward as an unfinished destination. Certain places remain inside us long after we leave them, changing shape as we do.
