Artist Statement:
This piece is my playful ode to Equinox—a landscape caught between day and night, where opposites share the space in quiet harmony. I scrambled the phrase “And it was good.” like an anagram, exploring how meaning shifts when light and shadow collide. Straight on, the image feels confusing—like creation mid-spin. But from either side, it clicks into clarity: sunrise on one end, starlight on the other. I wanted the viewer to move, to shift perspective, and find balance in the blur. It’s a visual riddle, a layered moment, and a reminder that even when things feel split or uncertain… it’s still good.
