Print Pre-orders are now available. Each print will be 3×4 and printed on 5×7 fine art paper with a white border to allow for numbering and signing. This print version allows you to grab more than one if you would like to share the message of Resurgam with someone or a group of people going through an experience of watchfulness together. Prints will be mailed in October.
This collection is for the ones keeping vigil—for those who need to see a visual reminder that they are not alone and their losses are not forgotten. My hope is that when you see these paintings in your home, you will remember all those who have also collected a piece from this series and know that you each hold a flame that will not be snuffed, burning in silent vigil for the darkest days you have and will face.
The title Resurgam (re sŏŏr′gäm) is a Latin word meaning “I will rise again.” I first encountered this word in the book Jane Eyre. It was the epitaph given to Jane’s childhood friend, Helen Burns, who died at thirteen. Helen was a symbol of faith, fortitude, and rising above adversity. She was Jane’s first friend and a guiding light even in her absence.
May your candle burn bright until we rise again,
Emily
