After William’s passing, Ksenia embarked on a profound spiritual journey to ensure her husband’s final work, Ghost Flower, was published and his legacy preserved. She felt his guidance every step of the way, a connection that deepened through the creative process. Guided by his spirit, she began sketching ideas for the companion journal, drawing inspiration from their life together and the world he so vividly captured in his writing. This artistic endeavor not only honored his wishes but also became a source of healing, purpose, and awakening for her.
Merck II Press now stands as a living tribute to their collaboration. The press is a platform for William’s three books, with Ksenia championing his work and sharing his inspirational message with the world. By creating the companion journal, she has not only completed his final project but has also invited readers into their shared creative journey. She continues to tell stories through her art, ensuring that William’s brilliant mind and radiant soul continue to inspire for generations to come.
