Artist: Sophia Lenz
Title: Light That Remains
Description:
Light That Remains centers on the single flame that endures within darkness. In this work, Sophia Lenz captures the faint yet unwavering spark of consciousness that persists at the edge of memory. A forgotten room, crumbling walls, and a cold stone floor form the silent stage upon which a lone candle burns — untouched by time, radiating a fragile warmth that feels more human than any artificial light.
For Lenz, this flame is not merely illumination but the final message of a vanished presence. Within it, she distills the traces of memory, sorrow, and hope into one point of light. Rather than pushing back the dark, the flame breathes within it — proof that existence endures even in absence. Through its quiet glow, Light That Remains becomes a meditation on remembrance, loss, and the gentle resilience of being.
Artist’s Note:
“Every darkness holds, at its core, a single light.”
— Sophia Lenz
