Description

Ash represents a contextual residue left after transformation through heat, pressure, or dissolution. It marks the boundary between what once held form and what remains after structure collapses. Ash becomes a symbolic after-state, capturing the memory of a previous configuration while no longer embodying its function or identity. It highlights the cyclical nature of processes, where destruction and creation are intertwined. As a contextual element, ash serves as a trace that invites interpretation, reminding systems of their past while offering material for new beginnings.
