Transcend

Transcend marks the moment when consciousness turns skyward, when thought dissolves into atmosphere. The saintly figure, crowned by wing-like forms, is surrounded by hues that vibrate between earthly warmth and infinite blue. The work speaks to the merging of self and spirit, an acknowledgment that transcendence is not escape but expansion. Brushstrokes remain visible, deliberate, evidence of human touch within the divine. Through luminous restraint, Halford captures the paradox at the heart of spiritual evolution: that ascent requires both surrender and embodiment.
