Behind the artwork:
 
Pulse and Ash explores the thin, tactile threshold between existence and absence through a profound contrast: the visceral encounter between a living hand and a dead hand. Modeled in clay, these two forces reach out toward each other, capturing the fragile instant when flesh meets its own shadow.
 
The modeled clay retains the warmth of the human gesture, though as it dries it transforms into a permanent mineral trace.
 Surrounded by fluid resin, earthy-toned acrylics, and the withered petals of a cemetery flower, this modern memento mori invites reflection on the inevitability of time, memory, and the ephemeral nature of life.
