Light, Original
20x20 in (50x50 cm): Light (noun): a feeling of hope or guidance that shows up when things are hard.
Today, Clara was at the gym. She had a big meltdown. I was doing my workout, so I did not see it, but there is a video. In the video, Clara is crying, talking with her dad about when he will die one day. That is a hard thing for any kid to think about. And then, right there, she gives her dad a kiss. A hug. I think that hug shined light all over that gym.
That is what this artwork is. The grays and the dark colors, that is the hard part, the fear, the heavy thoughts. The yellow mixed in, that is the light. It does not wait for things to get easier. It shows up right in the middle of the hard moment, just like Clara did today.

SPOTTED IN
Hi, I’m Clara.
Sometimes people tell me I shouldn’t dream so big. That because I can’t speak, read, or write, I should “stay quiet.” But I don’t want to stay quiet. I want to paint louder.
I had a stroke while I was still in my mom’s womb. The doctors told her my life would be a nightmare. But here I am — building my future.
Even though I can’t speak, read, or write, I understand three languages — English, Portuguese, and Italian. I guess my brain found its own way to communicate, just not the one doctors expected.
I’m writing this with the help of my mom (my business partner, my best friend, and my biggest cheerleader) and ChatGPT — and reading it with my text-to-speech app.
Painting became my language. It’s how I share everything I can’t say with words — my love, my anger, my hope, and my joy. Because even if my voice sounds different, I want you to hear me.
