ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Private Collection We often use a lighted candle as a nonviolent way to strike out against injustice or in memory of victims and those who died. Extinguishing candlelight can symbolize the sacrifice of one's life. I painted the candlelight series mainly using Middle East revolution articles. The flickering flame is a powerful symbol of hope and endurance in the face of darkness. It can reflect the influence of the Arab Spring and the need to preserve the memories and ideals that fuel change. We should keep lights on because life's memories fade just like the light of a candle that burns down.
