In Captured by Her, a solitary woman stands beneath an expansive night sky, seemingly held by the luminous presence of the moon. Her flowing red dress and wide-brimmed hat create a striking contrast against the silver light, while her turned posture preserves a sense of mystery and introspection.
Thousands of individually placed glass beads give movement and dimension to the figure, allowing the folds of the dress, the sweep of her dark hair, and the surrounding stars to shift as light travels across the surface. The contrast between the vivid red of the dress and the restrained tones of the sky intensifies the magnetic relationship between the woman and the moon.
The title reverses the expected gaze: the woman is not simply observing the moon; she has been captured by her. The work reflects the moon as a feminine presence associated with intuition, mystery, transformation, and the unseen forces that quietly draw us toward them.
