Inspired by Henri Matisse’s belief that creativity requires courage, Sterk uses Illustrator and Photoshop to map the far reaches of the imagination. As the third installment of a four-part series, "The Witch" explores the intersection of the natural world and the ethereal, placing familiar creatures alongside sky phenomena. The work suggests that the act of imagining is itself an adventure, one that requires a steady hand and a willingness to face the unknown.

The composition balances the vitality of the urban environment with the serene tranquility of a star-flecked sky. Through a surrealist lens, Sterk presents artistic animal representations that feel both grounded and otherworldly, bathed in an ethereal glowing light. This digital illustration captures a moment of balance and agreement between the human spirit and the vast, mysterious forces of nature.
