"A Golden Plea for a Moment's Stay" [No.4]

$1,800.00

Original - No. 4 Phase in the “Threads of Solace” Collection

30×40in. - Acrylic on 1.5in. Gallery-Wrapped Cotton Canvas

This piece is a visual exploration of the bargaining phase of grief, the fourth chapter in the collection, Threads of Solace. It is a testament to the strange nature of this stage: a desperate plea for more time with a loved one, a solemn negotiation with fate, and a first, tentative step toward finding peace.

The canvas is split between heavy shadow and ethereal light, a direct representation of grief’s shifting landscape. The dark, textured areas carry the weight of what came before, a residue of the anger phase. Here, deep, harsh reds are veiled by thick, somber blacks, a memory of a fight that now feels distant.

This darkness gives way to sections of cloud-like lightness. Soft, inviting textures hint at the possibility of a way forward, while streaks of gold and subtle warmth suggest a rising sun and the quiet emergence of hope. These golden strikes and playful lines serve as a thread connecting this piece to the broader collection, a motif of solace running through the difficult, tangled journey of grief.

Each piece includes a certificate of authenticity, a personal artist statement, and a dedicated poem written to echo its emotional core.

Dedicated Poem:

Following the visual journey of this piece, the accompanying poem serves as a lyrical counterpoint. It gives a voice to the internal experience of bargaining—a whisper of hope that is both a desperate negotiation and a quiet step toward finding light.

Empty hands reaching out with hopeful plea, 

One fleeting, fragile, strange captivity. 

The momentary lightness from the weight, 

Dealt a game of cards against an iron gate. 

The smallest solace that the soul has bought, 

That sunlit sliver of a whispered thought. 

Clinging to strings that hang in empty space, 

A hopeful ghost in this familiar place. 

And though the past looms in the falling light, 

This fragile hope pulls apart its promised fight.
