This collection delves into the essence of "ephemeral beauty," channeling the transience of nature and art. It reflects on the fleeting moments that define our world—the delicate, vanishing instances we strive to preserve. A petal, pressed into permanence; a photograph, suspending time; a dandelion, remained for wishes never whispered. Through hand-dyed fabrics, I explore the fragile intersection between impermanence and preservation.
