Built from a thick accumulation of acrylic, oil, coffee, limestone, and charcoal formed by and gathered from the Eaton Fire, this work holds a quiet surface shaped by what lies beneath it. Though the palette remains restrained and neutral, the underlayers carry memory-- compressed, altered, and preserved not only in the ground, but in the air that once held ash and smoke. The work acknowledges that trauma is not confined to a single place; it moves through land, atmosphere, and time. Still, the piece allows space for rest – an invitation to look at something serene without denying what the earth, in all its forms, remembers.
