"Night Terrors" captures the human condition through a woman sitting upright in bed, blankets pulled tightly around her as she clasps her knees and rests her head, embodying vulnerability and emotional transition. With dramatic lamplight casting golden hues against dark shadows in oil on canvas, this piece reveals inner worlds of fear and connection to subconscious artifacts, blending everyday nighttime interactions with psychological interplay. Drawing from McCarter's M.S. in Counseling Psychology and her 3D virtual environment designs, it evokes a profound sense of place in the intimacy of sleep, whispering stories of enduring resilience amid life's delicate balance.
