The Charcoal Ash Paintings are a series that pays homage to what remains after the fire.

Created with Indian ink, acrylic ink, gold spray paint, and gold leaf, these A5 works explore the tension between destruction and renewal.

Reclined figures emerge from smoky, textured surfaces, their presence both fleeting and eternal. The speckled, sandy palette invites quiet contemplation, offering a sense of stillness within the aftermath.
