This piece, The Architecture of Stillness, came from a place of wondering what lies just beyond what we can see. I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that death isn’t really an end, but more of a doorway—something quiet and mysterious, but also beautiful in its own way.

The skull, to me, isn’t just about death. It’s about what’s left when all the noise is gone. It’s the truth beneath everything. I wanted it to feel like it’s wearing a crown—not of gold or jewels, but of memory, spirit, and something cosmic. The patterns behind it are like layers of thought or energy, almost like a mandala or a sacred burst, and the little moth at the bottom… that’s the soul, maybe. Fragile, small, but glowing.

I tried to balance decay and beauty here—to show that the two can exist side by side. When I look at this piece, it feels like a moment of stillness in a dream. A reminder that there’s something powerful and even peaceful in the unknown.
