In Mourning’s Orbit, Mira Dancy turns to oil landscapes drawn from photographs of Altadena after the Eaton Fire. Departing from her goddess figures, she paints charred trees, scorched hills, and luminous skies, holding grief and renewal in close tension. Impressionistic and expressionistic, the works treat painting as moral response and reflection, where destruction and rebirth remain transitional states, and looking becomes an act of communal and personal reckoning.
