Collection Concept: Depths of Heaven
Depths of Heaven is a series of objects meant to express the depths of my soul, my feelings in recent times, in a reality where optimism and joy were aggressively pushed out by fear and uncertainty. In this atmosphere, I felt a fiery passion to fathom the layers wherein life exists in utter opacity, where there is bloom without light, places where darkness rules, yet shape and color still endure.
