Nigel Sparks’ pastel drawing "Glass Half Full" depicts two people toasting with glasses filled with a cosmic, starry liquid—that seems as if they are consuming something magical. Since the glasses are "half-full" it is made to remind us to be consumed or absorb ourselves in the idea of enjoying the magical moments of life, those rare, beautiful, and emotionally powerful experiences that feel extraordinary, almost surreal — like time briefly pauses and the heart fully awakens, despite unforeseen circumstances.
