Original artwork description:

This painting was inspired by one of my unforgettable bike rides — through a dark forest in the dead of night. The trees, glowing red under the beam of my headlamp, looked alive, their branches like veins pulsing with tension. Hidden eyes peered from the shadows, and each sound sparked the imagination.

The forest stands for doubt, anxiety, and inner fear. The soft light ahead symbolizes hope — the inner flame that leads us through uncertainty. Sometimes the way is hidden, but one small step can bring it back into focus.

This work invites you to recall your own night journey and rediscover the courage to move forward.
