This work draws on charcoal gathered from trees touched by the 2024 Jasper fire. The material echoes the Artist's uncles, who once worked at a labour camp in the Jasper region during the Second World War — leaving traces of effort, presence and resilience embedded in the landscape.

Using this charcoal, the artist created a constellation that speaks to endurance, distance and connection across generations. Gold ink illuminates the marks, transforming remnants of fire into points of reflection. Destruction becomes a site of presence; absence becomes a gesture of reclamation.

Through material and memory, the work continues a dialogue between land, ancestry and the quiet ways that stories persist — even across separation.
