What Remains

“What Remains”

Even after loss, something remains.

Science calls it fetal microchimerism — a phenomenon where the cells of a baby, even one we never got to hold, remain within the mother’s body for years, sometimes a lifetime.

But beyond the biology, there’s something deeply sacred about that.

This piece is a tribute to that invisible connection. The quiet knowing that even in absence, presence lingers. Light, memory, love — held delicately in the palms like petals that refuse to fade.

For every woman who has walked through loss: your body remembers. Your cells carry a trace of the life you once nurtured. And even when words fall short, art can remind us — you are not empty. You are a vessel of both grief and glow.

For Collectors: To honor this piece and those it speaks to, I will be holding a special raffle upon SOLD OUT. One collector will receive a physical fine art print, lovingly packaged and sent with gratitude. Thank you for your support — may this artwork bring light, remembrance, and comfort to all the mothers/parents who have experienced loss.
