Final work

Pond and Nur are two porcelain girls living in a secret wood

Pond

Pond was lost

in the forest

love-in-a-mist blooms

flowers whispered

way to the forbidden fruit

unravelled

a fruit that she once heard

from ancient prophesy

she picked two from the tree

one for her

one for Nur

as she walks

one fell in the mud

moss sprawls

traces of the path erased

A mystical fruit that

does not belong to you nor me

they plant it in the soil

from where they live

the bird with beautiful

silky feathers

visit us once a year from afar

by the time she comes

we might have a baby tree

full of gifts to her growing family

Nur

Research and process

Mould-making

floristry
