Overview
The project began after witnessing the church fire and reflecting on how structures that feel permanent can vanish overnight.
Rather than producing a permanent memorial, the work embraces ephemerality. The ash-based stencil was designed to disappear, with video documentation serving as the lasting record.
Process
A stencil of the church was created and placed at the original site. Ash from the burned structure was brushed through the stencil rather than using spray paint.
Wind alone was not enough to remove the ash, so brushing techniques—similar to sand animation—were used to erase the image gradually on camera.
