White chalk and soft pastel on black paper

30” x 19”

A powerful moment of transformation as a woman gracefully morphing into a panther, enveloping in radiant azure light is depicted. The artwork, with its loop of fluid motion, symbolizes perpetual change and renewal. The bright blue strokes convey a sense of inner strength and spiritual depth, while the contrast represents the beauty that arises from embracing both the divine and primal aspects of nature. Shading and lighting help to focus attention on the shape of the body and how it transforms, shrinking and stretching again. Composition creates a loop in which a panther princess is captured, and forced to experience the same agony of transition every day.
