This composition invites reflection on the quiet poetry of decay and renewal. Each object, worn yet enduring, carries a story of transformation, echoing the beauty found in imperfection. The interplay of textures and forms evokes a sense of time paused—a moment where nature and creation merge into a harmonious meditation. This work transcends the boundaries of still life, offering a space to contemplate the fragility and resilience of existence itself.

It features submissions from staff, students, alumni, and practitioners beyond the university while highlighting practice-based research, experimental processes, and diverse artistic outcomes across various media.
