About the artwork
Keeper of my Darkness
He seems to guard me, brings peace, stands at the gates of my silence. I don't know who he is, I met him recently and he said nothing. Just touched me and looked at my hands. So sad yet radiantly captivating.
Maybe he's part of this shimmering wall that keeps me from the secrets.
