Hand-carved from over 40 pieces of walnut, this piece effortlessly blends sculpture, ceramic, and woodwork to resemble a living root structure that is at once furnishing and foliage.

This piece is a commentary on the built environment; an inquiry into the ways the living world is relegated to tidy corners of our homes and lives. Inviting plant life into the center of the setting, this piece forces the user to work with nature, instead of pushing it to the side.

Nature isn’t in the way; it is the setting we all live and die in. As the climate crisis grows, it is time to admit that maybe the natural world knows more about determining our space than we do. The least we can do is give it a seat at the table.
