Light gold leaf, oil and acrylic on canvas, framed in hand painted wooden frame, 34x34cm. 
This circular artwork portrays a beaver poised on a rock, illuminated by the ethereal glow of a full supermoon — a scene that feels both grounded and celestial. Symbolically, the beaver represents industriousness, creation, and the power of transformation through persistence. It’s an animal that reshapes its environment, turning water into refuge — a quiet architect of balance between chaos and order.
Set against the vast, cratered face of the moon — an ancient emblem of intuition, cycles, and the subconscious — the piece becomes a meditation on nature’s dual forces: instinct and intention. The beaver, small yet mighty, stands before the moon as if communing with a greater cosmic rhythm, suggesting that creation isn’t just labor but also alignment — a dialogue between the earthly and the divine.
The circular frame reinforces this wholeness — a lunar portal through which the viewer glimpses the eternal dance of building, breaking, and becoming. The muted palette of silver, gold, and shadow evokes the dreamlike terrain of night, where hidden labors and emotional tides shape what we bring into being.
