Silent pointe
Digital on Paper
Bathed in moonlight, a ballerina pauses in a moment of quiet transition, suspended between land and water, movement and stillness. Dressed in white, her form glows against the deep blues of night, echoing the rhythm of the ocean and the gentle pull of the moon. Her reflection below mirrors her presence, suggesting duality—past and present, seen and unseen, strength and vulnerability.
This painting explores balance as both a physical and emotional state. The dancer’s poised gesture evokes discipline and grace, while the surrounding natural elements—grass, water, and moon—root her in a landscape that feels both real and symbolic. The night setting invites introspection, honoring the silent moments where identity is shaped.
Through light, reflection, and stillness, the work celebrates Black femininity, resilience, and elegance, positioning the figure as both grounded in the earth and elevated by spirit. The moon becomes a witness, illuminating a quiet act of self-possession and grace.
