Dust to Dust
Dust to Dust was created in ritual as a memorial to my mother. Composed of layered cyanotype photograms made from the ashes of her cremated body, the work serves as a meditation on the cyclical nature of existence. The ash, scattered onto delicate rice paper and exposed to light, leaves behind patterns reminiscent of a starry night sky. Each fragment resembles a star, transforming her physical remnants into a celestial narrative and fulfilling, as the text within the piece suggests, her wish to be returned to the stars.
