Divinity
16" × 12"
Oil on Aluminum
2025
Private Collection
An outstretched hand reaches toward a luminous full moon suspended against a field of darkness. The fingertip hovers just beneath its surface, creating a moment of near contact that carries both tension and wonder. Reduced to two essential elements, the composition transforms a familiar celestial object into a symbol of aspiration, mystery, and longing. The simplicity of the image allows the relationship between the hand and the moon to become the entire narrative.
Created as part of the Oracles series, the painting explores humanity's enduring search for meaning beyond the limits of immediate experience. Throughout the collection, symbolic objects act as manifestations of desire, identity, memory, and belief. Here, the moon occupies a unique role as one of the oldest and most universal symbols in human culture. Associated with cycles, mystery, transcendence, and the unknowable, it serves as a visual counterpart to the hand's gesture of reaching. Together, they create an image that exists between curiosity and devotion, between the tangible and the imagined.
Divinity reflects on the impulse to seek something larger than oneself. The hand reaches upward not in possession but in recognition of a distance that cannot be fully crossed. Rather than presenting divinity as a destination, the painting suggests that sacred experience may exist within the act of reaching itself. Through restraint and symbolism, the work considers the possibility that meaning is found not through certainty, but through wonder, pursuit, and a willingness to remain open to mystery.
