This work carries a completely different palette, and that’s intentional.
Even if it stands as the conclusion, it could also belong at the center.
If The Weight of Creation represents the beginning — the moment where the artist confronts silence, and The Noise of Becoming captures the chaos that follows, then this piece is about validation. That brief light that appears when something finally feels right.
The composition opens, the perspective climbs, the burden softens. It’s movement after resistance, clarity after confusion. The torch becomes the fragile proof that creation still breathe
The cliff recalls Caspar David Friedrich’s Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, but stripped of its heroism. It’s not a man facing the sublime, but an artist continuing through it: carrying what he’s learned, even knowing the light will fade
Because this clarity never lasts. It only exists for an instant — until the next descent, the next question, the next creation.
And that’s what The Burden of Becoming is about.
