Living Stone
Inspired by a flowers and plants related micro practice series, “Living Stone” intends to be an island inhabited by beings, populated by micro cosmos’ where natural plants may be mistaken by the ceramic organic forms, in this way creating a lush scenario filled with forms and colors. In order to allow for the habitable qualities of the piece, several small vases were created, sheltering some plants, such as moss and Navels of Venus. To the public is proposed an exercise of contemplating the surrounding nature, in which elements such as flowers, branches and leaves, are discovered, and in sequence, invited to add them into the piece, so that little by little a collective floral arrangement is built.
