A metal tree hoop was adapted to make a sprung bed for the nest of plastic cord that connect to each of the holes of the ceramic seed head and represents the innards of some plant stems. The plinth was made of paving bricks and pebbles.

"My multidisciplinary practice uses sculpture, print and photography to link plants to the contemporary arts. Social and environmental thoughts are an important part of the artwork, but my initial focus is on the individuality and asymmetrical contours of senescence in spent flowers. Taking these curiosities as an initiative I create a view to observe the irregularity and unpredictability aspects of nature."
