Thesis Revisited:

The weight of beauty is defined by it's temporal nature, that which, paradoxically, provides and deprives it of it's very essence.

Ashley Lil's work explores the tension between the formation, existence, preservation and decay of the beautiful,  as well as the mixed emotions attached to these qualities of the temporal. By capturing, honouring, yearning for, transforming, and imparting a heightened stature upon a candid or fleeting moment in time, she argues for the virtue of, the often overlooked, temporal beauty.
