This piece represents the moment of release after death. The purple galaxy rising from the skull is the soul departing into the universe. In her hands, she holds the shattered pieces of her heart, the loss leaving a scar and an emptiness in her chest. Yet, her fiery hair reflects the strength of her own life force, and the golden halo symbolizes how love and memories continue to radiate, even through grief and darkness.
