Tidal Herbarium was born from the idea of a garden shaped beneath water
It does not preserve a landscape that exists, but imagines a botanical collection gathered from an unknown tide
Miniature roses move through shades of blue, teal, and sea-green, surrounded by blue-toned leaves and slender branches
White chamomile blooms rise between them like small floating lights, while fragments of gold appear like particles carried through the water
This piece holds the memory of an imagined marine garden — intricate, unfamiliar, and quietly luminous
Each candle is composed slowly, allowing every rose, chamomile bloom, leaf, and fragment of gold to find its own place
Keine zwei sind jemals gleich. Kein Arrangement wird immer wieder verwendet.
Tidal Herbarium is not simply made to be burned
It is meant to remain. To be explored. To preserve a botanical world that could exist only beneath an imagined sea
