About the Work
The featured selection brings together three works that weave surreal imagery with emotional depth, standing at the intersection of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. Each piece carries its own voice echoes of absence, silences heavy with truth, and farewells bathed in moonlight yet together they form a meditation on memory, grief, and the unseen landscapes of the human experience.
Hollow Screams
A meditation on absence, where echoes serve as both memory and lament.
Silent Sermon
A quiet reckoning with what is left unsaid, and the truths that live in silence.
Moonlit Eulogy
A tender farewell rendered in light and shadow, where grief is as present as breath
The Voice
“These pieces sit at the crossroads of fantasy, horror, and science fiction illuminating the emotional terrain beneath them.”
