THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
The rhythm of Costa Rica’s wilderness displaced the steady beat of my everyday life. Beneath the dense canopy, trees released mist while unseen birds heralded the coming day. Through my window, dawn’s first light lingered—a pale ghost against darkness. I awoke to that gentle symphony, gathered my camera and tripod, and traced a path back through the grounds of the remote lodge that had become my temporary sanctuary.
When the sun’s edge finally slipped over the horizon, the world cracked open. Light surged through that gap—not gentle but ferocious, molten gold dancing beyond the limits of my words. My body resonated with it. Each blade of grass stood separate and miraculous, jeweled with dew that held galaxies, and I felt the Earth’s ancient spin beneath my feet, its momentum carrying us all. I became nothing but eyes and sensor, absorbing the kaleidoscope of dawn—a symphony of amber and jade, intertwined with shimmering golds and bold magentas storing the moment in the soft tissue of memory where it will live forever.
I walked the perimeter, moving as if the ground itself set a quiet tempo, each footfall a soft punctuation. With every subtle shift of color, the landscape dictated its own pace. The air thrummed with Mother Gaia’s heartbeat, and I sensed myself becoming a conduit, coaxing that invisible vibration into shape and shade. Minutes stretched and folded into one another; I lingered in quiet immersion, pulled forward by the hushed conversation between light and earth.
I chose this image as the distilled echo of that sunrise—a testament to the convergence of sight, sound and spirit. It is offered to the collector who seeks not a decorative object but an intimate encounter with the sublime, a reminder that art lives most profoundly in the moments when perception outpaces language. -Pamela Goodyer
