Azayliah Rose

Azayliah creates ephemeral earth altars as offerings to Pachamama – quiet prayers made from seeds, petals, shells, and bones, gathered through deep listening and instinct. For this shoot, we followed her from forest to shore, witnessing her forage, feel, and slowly build a mandala on the sand. There’s something powerful about photographing art that’s designed to disappear – a reminder of the beauty in impermanence, and the magic that happens when we co-create with nature.
