'LQQKING' Gallery_Featured considered length without reading asLQQKING features a skull with candlelit eyesquiet, steady, and intentional. The image centers on the idea of keeping your inner fire alive, even when it burns low or flickers. Rather than urgency or spectacle, this painting leans into endurance: the act of continuing, of choosing not to let the light go out. This work is part of my Skulls body of work and also belongs to Without Words. This painting is now in a private collection.
