Ethan’s Lantern
“We can only see what the light reveals to us,” says artist Morgan Weistling. “To this boy, the lantern is a mystery worthy of his fascination. As young Ethan lit his lantern and slowly raised the wick, I was drawn to capture his form as it emerged from the darkness. I am always inspired by the challenge of editing what I see down to the bare essentials that let the viewer understand what I observed without the distractions of unnecessary details.”
