Like moths to the light 

"Like moths to the light" is a painting by American artist Joseph Lorusso, born in 1966. The painting depicts a woman with her hands clasped around her face as if in prayer or distress, bathed in a warm golden light against a rich, dark brown background. The texture of the background evokes a feeling of weight and density, while the light source highlights the woman’s delicate features, creating a compelling contrast. Lorusso's use of light and shadow in this painting draws the viewer's eye to the woman's expression, inviting contemplation of her internal state.
