Light Carriers

A procession of stylized figures in flowing robes and historical costume moves across a pale, cracked icy field pierced by round dark-blue openings. One woman raises a lit candle, a figure in a plumed bicorne hat drinks from a horn, another kneels toward a glowing blue hole, a child stands wrapped in a cloak, and others tend an oil lamp and hold torches aloft beneath a deep starry sky.

Warm ochre, rust and gold costumes stand out sharply against the cool white ice and deep indigo sky, with the glowing openings adding pools of saturated blue light. Flat, simplified forms and stylized poses give the figures an emblematic, storybook quality, while the scattered candle flames create a hushed, otherworldly atmosphere.
