Introduction:

And of Clay Are We Created was written by Isabel Allende, it is a short story about a young woman named Azucena is trapped in the mud after a volcanic eruption. Rolf (a television documentary maker) found himself first at the scene, shortly after him the media arrives, and there was nothing he can do because of the lack of resources. The story is told from Eva Luna (Rolf's girlfriend) perspective and centers on how we cannot move on if our past isn't dealt with.

Explanation:

"She sands slowly, a flower in the mud" is the final metaphor of Azucena as she dies. The author uses a devastated tone since even though she was surrounded by people no one could do anything to save her, and she ended up dying.
