To remind the world that darkness exists To shine To show the night its own light To hold the branch of probability even when the dark grows thick

I made this self-portrait in December 2020 by candlelight before we knew the weight of outage schedules blackouts sirens before we learned the power of a single flame or a string of small lights

Today December 2025 I printed that portrait and scratched across it the pattern of our power-cut timetable branches of time, a trace that returns and returns

Upon the face and the candles I set tiny guardian-crosses growing patterns branches like those on old icons rushnyky and ancestral talismans symbols that guide protect

and whisper to me their tale of the path through the devouring dark

🕯 first one
