HumanLight (Humanity, Hope, Compassion, Reason)
2023
acrylic on paper
14 x 11 inches
Each of these candles comes with a purpose: the yellow represents reason, the red is about compassion, the blue evokes hope, and the white is meant to make you think of humanity. I painted them as a celebration of HumanLight, which is a secular celebration that coincides with the Christmas season and gives non-religious people their own way to party.
I first celebrated HumanLight in 2021 with this painting and this GIF, but my 2023 commemoration comes with me outing myself as a Judicial Grinch.
