๐…๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐€๐ฆ๐ฒ: Created in the immediate aftermath of my late husband Taoโ€™s death in 2024. This place emerged from my state of initial shock. A gentle angel hovers at the edge of the cosmos, selecting a soul for departure and body death. She kind and thoughtful; there is nothing to fear. Layers of hot glue and collage and acrylic paint evoke the mystery of fate and the unseen forces that guide our final transition.

Thank you, Amy, for sharing your heart.
