Exhalation

'Exhalation' is part of a series of six wood engravings included in the installation 'Fiat Lux'. ‘Fiat Lux’ or ‘let there be light’ represents the transformation of darkness into light. It references the dark despair of the fairy tales that almost always transforms into light and happiness by the end of the story, it alludes to the gloom of the forest light and the search for glades and beams. It also speaks of my medium; cutting out light from darkness being the unique, defining quality of wood engraving.
