Light is the chaser away of darkness. Shade is the obstruction of light.

​Light, in its essence, is not merely the absence of darkness but the active force that dispels it. In both literal and metaphorical senses, light serves as the chaser away of darkness, illuminating the path forward and revealing what was once obscured.

Physically, light is the antidote to darkness. Wherever light penetrates, darkness retreats. This fundamental principle of physics underscores the importance of light in our understanding of the universe. From the gentle glow of a candle to the radiant brilliance of the sun, light banishes shadows and brings clarity to our surroundings. Without light, the world would be shrouded in perpetual obscurity, devoid of form and definition.

Metaphorically, light symbolizes knowledge, enlightenment, and understanding. Just as light reveals the physical world, it also illuminates the realms of thought and consciousness. When faced with ignorance, prejudice, or confusion, it is through the light of education, empathy, and introspection that we dispel the darkness of misunderstanding and misconception. Like a beacon in the night, enlightenment guides us towards truth and fosters unity amidst diversity.

Moreover, light serves as a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. In moments of despair and adversity, it is the flicker of optimism, the warmth of human kindness, that pierces through the gloom and offers solace to weary souls. Even the smallest acts of compassion and courage can ignite a flame of hope that transcends the shadows of despair, inspiring others to persevere and strive for a brighter tomorrow.

​I once painted a small picture with $1 watercolor paint with this wish in mind. And I was happy to be able to check the temperature and atmosphere created by the watercolor paint during the time this painting was completed. This feeling of happiness was conveyed and it became the most popular picture among my Pinterest pins.

​And I think that I want to continue drawing light that overcomes darkness like this candle.
