"The Opening" 12 x 16 oil painting by Odera Igbokwe

The Opening is an avatar of the inner child coexisting amongst darkness. Despite our traumas and deeply routed wounds, we have the power to sit on top of the winding roads of chaos. We hold the key to the gateways, even when the contents behind that door are filled with terror and fear. The Opening beckons us to confront our fears and our shadows, and to remember that the darkness is where we go to rest and where we start to grow like seeds. In spite of all of this, peace and contentment can still stabilize and have dominion over these scary places.

The Opening, 12 x 16 inches, oils on a cradled wooden panel (1.5 inches depth). Sealed with a satin finish varnish.
