(Varon, 2021) This two-part painting, “Up in Smoke” and “Rebirth”, captures a profound turning point in life: the moment when one chapter ends, and another, unexpected one begins. In “Up in Smoke,” the sun sets on what once was—a symbol of loss, finality, and the disintegration of a former reality. Spiral trails of smoke rise into the sky, representing the emotional unraveling of my marriage, the dreams that dissolved, and the life that could no longer be held together. It is an image of pain, but also of release. “Rebirth” stands as its counterpart, a visual declaration of renewal. Here begins the healing journey: a path back to freedom, self-discovery, and reclaimed happiness. This painting symbolizes the quiet strength that rises from grief, the beauty of starting anew, and the power found in embracing change. Together, these works tell a story of transformation, of endings that become beginnings, and of the resilience that carries us through.
