"From The Ashes" is a conceptual book designed to promote the New Leaf Paper line Reincarnation. The concept of this project focuses on the communities that were hit with destruction from natural disasters.

Natural disasters occur every day but some are much stronger than others, leaving a greater impact on the communities they destroy. "From The Ashes" focuses on a few of the most destructive natural disasters of the past ten years: the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the Joplin Tornado in the United States that hit in 2011.
