So I explored the idea of being pulled from darkness into light, originally cowered in the corner and being elevated by grace into a dance of color and freedom.
The process for this piece was complicated, requiring a photo session with a model, digital illustration, and a separate pass on the press for each color, so 500 hand-fed passes through the press to create the overlay effects. 12x18 print
