ARS THANEA

“The Ash” started as a passion project around the idea of glowing roses. A combination of scenography pieces and digital art brought this project to life. First, we used various materials to build the shape of flowers. Then, we painted and fully covered them with material which looks like volcanic ash. Then, we finished it up with real burning coal, and to fill the gaps between the roses, we decided to use a red light, which gave a glow to the image. In the next stage, we took some photos of burning coal only, using the same perspective. The final result was a very detailed picture that the well-known rapper Future ended up choosing as the cover art for his recent album, “Evol.”
