Featuring work by Amyia Chea-Carroll and Madi Stephens
Grief shifts, gathers, and resurges in unexpected forms. Through Ashes, a Garden traces this movement—grief as fracture and as seed, silence as shadow and ground for becoming.
The work follows two currents: one tending towards nature, to the cycles of decay and return, and the way the earth holds memory and teaches renewal. The other turning toward lived in concealment, grief of oneself, and beginnings that emerge in hidden spaces.

Together, they make a landscape where grief marks what is gone and also clears space for what can arrive.
