Two children stand at the edge of darkness, where a torrent of light breaks through the void — not merely to illuminate, but to awaken. Within this radiant beam, forms begin to rise: silhouettes ascending in sequence, like echoes of ourselves climbing back into the unknown. The beam becomes a ladder, a memory, a migration — less a moment of arrival than a return.

The children do not yet ascend. They witness. And in that witnessing, the boundary between observer and participant begins to blur.

This work explores light not as a backdrop or force of revelation, but as a living current that remembers, that carries the imprints of those who have passed through. The textures surrounding the beam — cracked, rippled, cosmic — suggest the sediment of other worlds and former selves. The vastness of space here is not cold or empty, but etched with meaning.

“Torrent of Light” asks:
What if the light we follow is shaped by the ones who walked before us?
What if transcendence is not a leap, but a path already written — not above, but within the beam?
