Through paint, mixed media, photography, drawing Rhonda explores Constellations (After Life) and traces the quiet persistence of matter and memory across the vast fabric of the cosmos. It begins with the endings of stars — their luminous deaths as supernovae, their silent collapses into black holes or neutron remnants — and expands into a meditation on what remains when the light fades.
Each extinguished star becomes a point of remembrance, part of a greater constellation that continues to shimmer across time. In mapping these celestial afterlives, the work speaks to our own impermanence — the fragile brilliance of human existence suspended within the infinite.
Here, the cosmos becomes both mirror and metaphor: every ending a transformation, every fragment of dust a seed for new creation. Within the immeasurable span of the universe, the life of a star is only a heartbeat — yet in that fleeting pulse, it carries the promise of renewal.
Constellations (After Life) is not only an astronomical reflection, but a quiet act of reverence — for all that burns, fades, and begins again.
