Compelling Aspects of Mystery and Duality
In a sudden turnabout, Sferra Rada's "Moon Night" increases the physicality of the most ephemeral element -- sky -- to place a full moon above a weighty emptiness.
Here she evokes a sense of uncertainty mixed simultaneously with a curiosity about the unknown. These compelling aspects of mystery and duality are characteristic of her work.
In essence, Sferra's paintings, while promising a calm and solitary reverie, enter into a mystical world where the basis of experience and memory questions its physical orientation, thereby imbuing them with poetic tension.

Moon Gazing;
Looking at it, it clouds over;
Not looking, it becomes clear.
