Wolves Sleep At Her Bare Feet
24" × 18"
Oil on Wood
2025
Part of the Oracles collection.
A woman turns her gaze away from the viewer, her expression measured and self-possessed. Suspended above her head is a large moth whose wings stretch across the composition like an emblem or crown. The dark background isolates both figure and symbol, allowing the relationship between them to become the central focus of the work. The portrait balances psychological realism with archetypal imagery, suggesting that the visible self is accompanied by unseen forces operating beneath the surface.
Created as part of the Oracles series, the painting explores the ways identity is shaped by inherited narratives, systems of influence, and the often-unconscious forces that guide personal transformation. Throughout the collection, animals and natural forms function as symbolic counterparts to the human figures, revealing aspects of their inner lives that cannot be expressed through gesture or expression alone. Here, the moth serves as both companion and metaphor, hovering between instinct, vulnerability, transformation, and hidden knowledge.
Wolves Sleep At Her Bare Feet reflects on forms of power that do not announce themselves. The title suggests a quiet authority capable of calming forces often associated with fear, danger, or unpredictability. Meanwhile, the moth evokes cycles of change, attraction to light, and the mysteries that accompany personal evolution. Together, the symbols create a meditation on inner strength, suggesting that true power may emerge not through dominance or control, but through self-knowledge, acceptance, and an intimate relationship with the unknown.
