sometimes
the dawn
seems far away
for
lost boys
&
their sisters
the elements
in control
so strong
but mom
she says
the sun is fierce
&
all might melt
who knows

Immerse yourself in the profound storytelling of Zen Dageraad's evocative art piece. This poignant narrative unfolds through symbolic illustrations of his two sisters, each battling their unique storms. The elder sister, encapsulated in turbulent, lightning-touched clouds, exudes an aura of tempestuous fury, while the younger radiates melancholic moonlight, a silent testimony to her grappling with depression.
Embellished with diverse hues, the artwork oscillates between serene blues and fiery oranges, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between calm and chaos. The soft blue-green dots on the dark clouds and the moon's yellow outline against the stark purple backdrop add a surreal quality, reflecting the sisters' complex personas.
The art further unfolds with a poignant poem, "sometimes the dawn seems far away", reinforcing the themes of emotional turbulence and resilience. It personifies the sun as the ever-fierce, melting maternal figure, symbolizing hope amidst despair. The 'red rain' and 'green stars' add to the contrasting visual palette, highlighting the dichotomy of their lived experiences.
This art piece offers a unique lens to the intricacies of familial bonds, embarking on a journey through emotional landscapes of love, struggle, and perpetual hope.
