Little Light is tribute to the briefest lives, to the babies born too soon, and to the invisible grief carried by so many. Through layers of surreal collage, this work becomes a space to honour, remember, and gently hold the sorrow that words can’t quite reach.
The fawn, a symbol of innocence, fragility, and the in-between. Around it bloom flowers deeply tied to baby loss and remembrance across folklore and tradition:
Forget-me-nots, long associated with memory and eternal love, call gently to those we never forget.
Buttercups represent fleeting childhood, their delicate yellow reminding us how joy and loss can coexist.
Baby’s breath, often used in memorial flowers, speaks to purity, innocence, and the fragility of new life.
Anemones carry ancient symbolism of loss and mourning named in myth after the death of a beloved.
Bluebells, in Celtic lore, are believed to grow at the threshold between this world and the next — the "fairy flowers" of the otherworld.
Floating nearby are moths, subtle messengers from the spirit world. In many cultures, moths are seen as souls returning or visiting, drawn to the light of memory and love. Their presence is quiet, almost unnoticed, yet deeply felt.
A robin rests above, surrounded by gold and haloed by starlight. In British and Irish folklore, robins are believed to carry the souls of the departed often appearing during times of grief as signs that lost loved ones are near.
Below the fawn lies witha stone, placed intentionally. In Japanese Buddhist tradition, grieving parents leave stones at the feet of Jizō, the guardian of unborn and lost children. According to folklore, these stones help children’s souls cross safely to the afterlife. Jizō is said to hide them in his robe and guide them gently across the river of souls, a reminder that even in loss, they are not alone.
Threads of gold and crimson run through the piece, marking love, lineage, and the invisible ties between this world and the next. Stars, moonlight, and sky all echo the idea that the spirit continues
This piece was created in memory of Alexandra Nephew who passed away in 2024
