NYX

NYX is a series of colored pencil drawings on paper.

The series depicts an archetypal world shaped by emotionally charged dreams, illustrating the transformative journey of the night.

Why did I turn to darkness, say?

I did it, love

To see you be the day.

I gave you my star

Permanently

A piece of me

So you could be born

I'll be the night

So you can be the day

I’ll take your guilt and shame

I’ll take your every blame

If it could mean

You’d be set free

From all collected pain

I’d take it all

If it could mean

You’d love me as the day

For the night that I became

— Jacqueline Ilijin
