Janet Elizabeth Thomas, oil and tempera on canvas, 103 × 140cm
In Psalm 2, Janet Elizabeth Thomas turns inward. The figure contracts into a fetal position, suspended within a dark, enclosing void edged by a charged halo of radiating light. This is not sanctuary but pressure—an interior space where thought, memory, and fear converge.
The body becomes both subject and vessel, held at the threshold between isolation and revelation. The surrounding field vibrates rather than resolves, suggesting a state of endurance rather than release. Here, the Psalms series deepens into silence: a moment where the cry has folded back into the self, and waiting becomes the only form of faith.
