The Day The Earth Went Dark | Original Drawing

The Day The Earth Went Dark is a powerful charcoal rendering of Christ on the crucifix, his form revealed by restrained strokes of light against deep black paper. The figure, both fragile and enduring, carries the full gravity of sacrifice, arms stretched wide, body bowed in shadow, yet radiating a quiet strength.

The simplicity of the composition draws the viewer into stillness, inviting reflection on themes of suffering, surrender, and the profound beauty of redemption. This piece holds space for contemplation, balancing sorrow with hope in its stark, reverent contrast.
