Virtue of Love

Personal Diptych · Allegory 2026
Virtue of Love — Illustration by Zeeshan Ahmad

The other half of the diptych — wings of pale paper, a heart that lights the figure from inside.

The companion to Sin of Wrath. Love is rendered as something quieter but not gentler — the heart is the only light source, and it lights the body from the inside out. The wings are kept deliberately frail; they read more like documents than feathers.

The colour palette deliberately echoes Wrath’s violets, with cool blues instead of the warm pinks — so the two pieces, side by side, share a temperature but disagree on everything else.
