This magnet features a print of my original painting, “Umbra Noctis”, reproduced at 4x5.5 inches with smooth rounded corners. A girl stands at the edge of a strange wood, and behind her, a shadow takes shape—a cat-like creature with eyes that know too much. It’s unclear who’s watching over whom. The night is alive, and this bond, though wordless, feels ancient.

“Umbra Noctis” is the hush before danger, where darkness is not absence, but presence.
