As Valentine’s Day approaches, our thoughts often turn to expressions of love and affection. However, for many, this holiday can also serve as a reminder of those we’ve lost and the enduring ache of grief. At Icons in Ash, we understand the complexities of love and loss, which is why we offer a unique way to honor the memory of your beloved through our Mosaic Portraits.
Our Mosaic Portraits are more than just artworks—they are deeply personal tributes crafted from the cremated ashes of your loved one. Created by artist Heide Hatry, each portrait is meticulously hand-made, capturing the essence and spirit of the individual in a black, white, and grey palette. Hatry’s innovative process involves the delicate placement of individual ash particles upon a surface of wax, where they rest gently until a rich and textured likeness emerges through several layers of application.
In a world where grief can feel isolating, our Mosaic Portraits offer a tangible connection to those we hold dear. Each portrait serves as a testament to the enduring bonds of love, allowing us to celebrate the lives of our loved ones in a meaningful and unique way. This Valentine’s Day, consider honoring the memory of your beloved with a Mosaic Portrait from Icons in Ash, and let their presence continue to illuminate your heart.
