In Exhalation , Vanessa Yiile captures the precise moment when the night ignites. Three bursts of light explode in a deep blue sky, suspended above the sea. The fireworks become more than a spectacle: they embody culmination, victory, the celebration of a journey.
The composition gives ample space to darkness, creating a powerful contrast with the bursting light. This darkness is not empty—it symbolizes doubt, silent efforts, the invisible steps that precede every success. Then comes the explosion. Brilliant. Fleeting. Magnificent.
“Take time to celebrate your wins.”
The artwork reminds us of the importance of recognizing our progress. Like the fireworks at the Cannes Pyrotechnic Festival, every achievement deserves its brilliance. The light reflects on the water, extending the celebration in a subtle and poetic play of mirrors.
True to Yiile's universe, Exhalation speaks of conscious joy, gratitude, and presence. Spirituality is expressed here in the shared moment, in the ephemeral beauty that illuminates the sky before vanishing.
“Appreciate how far you have come.
Treat yourself with gentleness and gentleness.
Enjoy the present.”
A vibrant, cosmopolitan and profoundly optimistic work — an invitation to honor its victories, great or discreet.
