My Dark Materials

"My Dark Materials" is a captivating exploration of light, shadow, and the unseen depths of nature, divided into two compelling subcategories: Dark Horse and Dark Water. Each piece is crafted with black acrylic on a black background, creating an intriguing effect where the image only reveals itself through the play of light and shadow, bringing the artwork to life in a striking 3D form.
