"Tower of Silence” portrays a spiritual sentinel a face symbolizing consciousness and the soul in stillness, awaiting transformation. Inspired by the ancient Zoroastrian funerary tower, it reflects silence, transition, and return to nature. African patterns echo ancestral memory and spiritual language, while earthy yellows and reds signify enlightenment, decay, and life force. A visual meditation on death, memory, and cultural continuity. Watercolor and ink on paper 14x20 cm
