This piece was a study for the bigger version, Victory to the Light.
Yet another painting trying to express how frigging amazing polar bears are and how lucky we are to live on the same planet as they do.
The title comes from a quote from Audre Lorde which I find comforting:
Every crisis and horrific injustice is demoralizing. It's deflating. Even the safest of us are exhausted and beaten down by the state of the world.
But we need to protect our creative energy too-not just to fight against things, but to create things. Part of an ethical life is bringing new healing, love, care, concern, and creative projects into the world.
We need to believe a new future is possible. We need to model that for each other and celebrate that in our lives. The culture of militarism and the disregard for nature must be replaced by something far more inspiring.
And that begins with us.
