It hung in silence long after she left. Hovering in the space where a memory should be, as if the wind itself refused to let go. The ruin crumbles, but the dress endures—weightless, waiting, unworn yet never empty.

Artist Process:

Set against the skeleton of a forgotten structure, this piece plays with visual weight and emotional gravity. The floating burgundy dress serves as both relic and phantom, defying the solidity of stone and time. The natural light was softened to create a wistful, otherworldly glow, allowing the textures of decay and air to speak simultaneously. It’s a study in loss without absence—presence without body.
