*Bright in Darkness* is a sculpture that embodies resilience and inner radiance amid suppression and obscurity. Its dark, intricate textures reflect the hardship and turmoil, yet its flame-like form suggests a persistent light—a voice breaking through the silence, a glow emerging from ashes. The piece stands as a metaphor for unyielding presence in the face of silence and control.
