Part of the Smoke, Fire, Ash series, with proceeds benefitting relief efforts, this piece captures the profound trauma of witnessing destruction—the remains of homes, communities, and lives reduced to ash.

This solid grey parabola is intentionally opaque, reflecting the weight of devastation and the emotional finality of loss. The material’s reflective surface, paired with the concave curve, inverts the surrounding environment, creating a disorienting perspective that mirrors the upheaval left in the wake of the wildfires.

“Ash” invites viewers to confront the fragility of what we hold dear and the haunting permanence of loss, even as the world around us continues to shift and reflect.
