The Cycle

This piece is a conceptual exploration of habit, consumption, and the passage of time. By depicting a cigarette before its use, the flame that ignites it, and the discarded, crumpled butt at the end, the artwork illustrates a familiar cycle of temporary relief and waste. I was inspired by the mundane objects we encounter daily and the hidden narratives and environmental footprints behind fleeting habits.
