Jana Brike's 2020 painting "The Witchlight Hour" depicts two women, one Black and one white, wading through a field of pink lotus flowers. The iconic Statue of Liberty is partially submerged in the background, suggesting a transformation or a change in American identity. The women's white dresses and the blooming lotuses evoke purity, innocence, and rebirth, hinting at a hopeful future. Brike's painting explores themes of race, identity, and the American landscape.
