Illumination

By Brittany Dunphy

A symbolic figure of awakening and inner illumination, carrying the ancient emblems of wisdom, transformation, and hidden knowledge. The serpent and pinecone evoke esoteric traditions surrounding consciousness, intuition, and the pineal gland, while the glowing lantern-body suggests a sacred light carried within. Set beneath a cosmic sky, this piece explores illumination not as something given from outside, but as a radiance awakened from within the self.
