Our Mother Has Composted a Thousand Empires is a fierce and tender invocation of Earth’s ancient, regenerative power. Layered with raw texture and deep, earthen tones interrupted by flashes of fire and decay, this work channels the quiet, persistent force of nature as it digests, transforms, and reclaims. It is a reminder that no empire is eternal—that every structure built on domination eventually crumbles into soil.
 
This painting honours the cycles of collapse and renewal, the wisdom of decay, and the feral, feminine intelligence that continues to birth life from ruin. It is both elegy and anthem, rooted in deep-time memory and radical hope.
