Charcoal on paper. 18x24 inches. 2022.
Ashes and Shadowis a deeply personal work created in the aftermath of my mother’s funeral. It reflects on the profound weight of grief and the fragile beauty of memory. At its center, the empty box—once holding her ashes—stands as a stark symbol of loss and finality. Inside the box is the shadow of a single rose, a quiet reminder of love’s enduring presence, even in the face of absence. Ashes fall against the black background.
