Lagan, the Sun Bearer - Original Graphite Drawing, 4 × 6

Even the parts we hide deserve to be understood.

Meet Lagan, the Sun Bearer - a magical woman whose gift is illuminating what lies hidden.

When fear, scarcity, and sorrow cloud the world, Lagan opens her hands and releases her light. Her radiance reaches the truths we’ve buried, the wounds we’ve avoided, and the strengths we’ve forgotten. With warmth and compassion, she helps us recognize these parts of ourselves and bring them into deeper harmony.

In this original graphite drawing, Lagan extends her palms toward the viewer, offering that light. Her natural puff rises above a hooded cape, while bare branches, drifting leaves, and a small pumpkin surround her. Delicate outlines and open space give the light room to shine.

Created for Day 25 of Rachael Alexander’s Drawing Magical Black Women challenge, this intimate artwork offers a reminder to approach yourself with honesty, curiosity, and care.
