Light Up.
Succinctly, the image symbolises faith, a heart focused only on light and unyielding to a deep, unknowable darkness.
As though conjuring a new sun from the night of outer space, the image of a woman puntured by light, overflowing, as it seems, from her heart, interrupts the gloom. But for the source of light she gently holds, upon which her grim but confident gaze is set, not much would have been visible; not the lower region of her dress generously dotted with perky black spots resembling moths scrambling for illumination, nor her simply shod feet, stable on uneven ground and surrounded by debris; not a half-seen person partially lost in the shadows with fingers resting on bare legs and holding a phone whose bright screen attempts also to pierce the darkness.
