Ember Echo

This vertical wall piece pulses with the energy of raw earth and flame. Against a fluid, ivory-toned background, two organic panels of rust, gold, and ash evoke sediment layers scorched by ancient heat. The irregular edges soften the otherwise architectural lines, inviting a closer look at the speckled textures that seem to whisper stories of geological transformation. A slim band of turquoise glass divides the panels like a moment of breath—an intentional pause in an otherwise smoldering composition.

To the right, a bold ribbon of molten orange and deep red glass rises like a molten flow, bordered by slender lines of steel gray and goldenrod. These contrasting stripes offer a visual cadence, balancing heat with harmony. Whether hung solo or among a collection, this piece makes a compelling statement of resilience, movement, and elemental beauty.
