When thinking about what still makes me wonder… I honestly couldn’t stop thinking. There are at least 100 questions that roll through my mind each day, as I am inherently very curious and desperate to make sense of things.

I took a step back and thought of the things that create a quiet presence in my mind, things I don’t fully understand but still bring me peace. I thought of the natural cycle of life and the human desire to preserve it. I thought of the Fibonacci sequence and how something so special can be found in something so common. I thought of water, its ability to remember, and its abundance found in all forms of existence.

These ideas came together in the form of a hanging mobile showcasing real waxed flowers and droplet-like beads hung from a metal spiral, connected together by a wooden hoop. This is an ephemeral sculpture and will change over time. These beautiful flowers will still inevitably dry out and lose color even with their wax-preserved seal, possibly even by the time you receive this sculpture if chosen to bid on. They will not be forgotten, just changed, and still deserve a chance at being cherished, much like you and I. Their structure will stay the same and so will the water which once provided them life. Their simple cycle will continue to spin, bringing new energy and curiosity to those taking in its natural presence from below.

From the Artist: "Participating in the Art Kit Challenge brought me a lot of nostalgia and made me rediscover my love for 3D mediums. It made me remember what it’s like to create with materials I already own and how that can push your creativity to do new things!"
