Living in Florence is an experience like no other. With its stunning architecture, amazing food, and landscapes, the city has inspired artists for centuries. In this piece, "Green Light," the Tuscan sun captures a woman standing in an ornate room, illuminated by a light emanating from an unseen window. In some ways, I wanted to convey introspection and self-reflection, but also a sense of finding peace in the environment. Cloaked in green and gold, her essence is rooted in the natural beauty of Florence and its surrounding hills.

The vibrant greens of the muted landscape hint at the tenderness and complexity that can be found within this charming city. As she turns away from the viewer, there is a feeling of reflection as she acknowledges our presence but chooses to look inward first.

In the quietest moments, there is also an appreciation for the intricate details of life that often go unnoticed. In a city like Florence, it's easy to get overwhelmed amid all the droves of tourists and provincial gazes - but if you take some time to stop and appreciate the surroundings, the green hills in the distance, the cobblestone pathways, and the beautiful architecture, you can find yourself in a moment of peace.

The woman in "Green Light" embodies this spirit - her gaze is both contemplative and content as if to say that she has found a moment of respite amidst all of Florence's chaos. Even though an unseen light source illuminates her, her gaze is directed away from us - she seems to be looking within herself for solace rather than searching outside. Her stillness echoes the tranquility that exists beyond our sight, reminding us to take a step back from everything and just breathe.
