Ember is a deeply evocative piece, rich with texture and shadow, inviting multiple interpretations through its abstract, sculptural surface. Inspired by the charred remnants of burning paper, the artwork captures the quiet drama of transformation— where fire leaves behind fractured memories and delicate traces of what once was. The surface is marked by swirling, layered strokes of smoky blues and deep graphite tones, creating a raw, tactile landscape. Yet, like all things left to perception, Ember also suggests a contrasting serenity. To some, the textured ridges resemble glistening snow peaks under moonlight—stark, majestic, and cold. This duality between fire and frost, destruction and stillness, allows the piece to shift its meaning with every gaze. With Ember, the viewer is invited into a space of reflection—where endings may also be beginnings, and beauty exists in both the burn and the stillness that follows
