Beauty for Ashes” explores loss and renewal. In a quiet garden, a sorrowful woman cradles a lifeless sparrow—an image of mourning amidst beauty. This work questions traditional ideals of beauty, suggesting it can also emerge through grief, tenderness, and quiet transformation, that can change ashes into an unexpected experience of beauty.
