Based on botanical images, I thought about how all living things move from vibrancy to whispers of what they once were. This series is about transition and what remains in terms of memories of living things. Day to night, life to death, and the essence and spirit of their former existence that remains, extending their persona beyond their physical mortality. Cobalt and red, in combination with black, references their remaining life force with colorful nuances, not to be forgotten.
