Twilight Tidbits by Dr. Vasundhara (Vasu) Tolia Image: Two fishermen from Myanmar's Lake Inle engage in their evening ritual as twilight descends. One kneels with a lantern, the other tends a fire—preparing the day's catch on their small boat. Witnessed during my travels through East Asia, this scene spoke to me of quiet resilience. The lantern, fishing net, and fire are more than tools—they're symbols of human perseverance, flickering against the vastness of water and sky. Inspiration: This painting explores the intersection of struggle and grace. The fishermen's daily challenges are present but softened by an almost sacred tranquility. In the golden hour's glow, labor becomes meditation, necessity becomes art. I wanted to capture not just what I saw, but what I felt: that even amid life's difficulties, there exists profound beauty in dedication and the human capacity to create warmth and light in gathering darkness.
