Find Light in Stillness

Pixel Rathmell (TydleWaive) is a Queensland-based artist whose work explores the lived experience of mental health through bold colour, fluid movement, and expressive form. Transforming emotional intensity into something tangible, art has become both a coping mechanism and a way to regain control. Symbolic forms appear throughout her work, reflecting adaptability, sensitivity, and resilience. Pixel's practice invites connection; creating space for vulnerability and strength to coexist, and for complex inner experiences to be seen.

This work explores the beauty of stillness within dark or uncertain moments. Depicted through the form of the dragonfly, resting on a single branch, it suggests that when we choose to pause, there is space for light to find us. The quiet form holds a sense of presence, where fragility becomes strength. In stillness, light is not chased but gently received, revealing moments of clarity, warmth, and transformation even in darkness.
