A column of light holds the whole city upright.

Where the Light Breaks Through captures a canyon of buildings rendered in layered blues, charcoals, and steel tones, interrupted by a vertical column of pale gold light. The street narrows toward the horizon, reflections gathering at ground level while red signals flicker in the distance.

Capsule Tales are narrative works as much as visual ones. Secured to the back of this original painting is a wax-sealed envelope containing a short, original story written specifically to accompany the piece. The story does not explain the city — it extends it, offering a deeper current beneath the surface and inviting the collector into the atmosphere beyond the frame.

This original 11 x 14 mixed-media painting is created on canvas-covered board and sealed in clear resin to enhance depth and luminosity. It arrives ready to hang with hardware installed and includes a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the reverse.
