After the Bloom

A pressed rose rests gently at the center of a soft, dotted field, its petals darkened and curled by time. Surrounding washes of pink feel like fading echoes—memories suspended rather than erased. The contrast between the preserved flower and the light, playful background creates a tender tension between joy and loss, presence and absence. In this intimate mixed-media work, Ashma Izzat reflects on love after its brightest moment, where beauty does not disappear, but settles quietly into remembrance.
