The Beyond
16” x 13” x 2.5”
The Beyond is a miniature altar of remembrance and imagination. Through a single lens, it suggests a view into a world that is just out of reach—wrapped in memory, framed by home, and softened with time. It asks: What is remembered? What is left behind?

A carved wooden frame evokes a miniature house or shrine, its lattice-like structure suggesting containment, while inside, something otherworldly stirs. At the center, a small circular lens or porthole—perhaps from an old clock—offers a peek into a hidden image or interior world. Faded book pages line the background, as if knowledge or memory underpins everything. Below, dried and dyed botanicals burst forward in saturated reds, oranges, and greens—floral offerings at the threshold. The Beyond is part portal, part altar, part memory box.
