Garden of Becoming II-explores transformation through accumulation, restraint, and material memory. The sculptural floral forms are built in layers that intentionally mimic marble, sand, and stone—materials shaped by time, pressure, and erosion. These surfaces reference endurance rather than delicacy, positioning the garden as something formed slowly, not fleeting. Set against a stark black-and-white ground, the work holds tension between structure and emergence, permanence and growth. Gold traces the edges of each form, not as decoration, but as a marker of attention—honoring where change has occurred and where form has been refined through process. This is not a literal garden, but a landscape of becoming. Each bloom stands as a record of patience and persistence, echoing geological formation as much as organic life. The work invites slow looking and quiet recognition of growth that happens beneath the surface—layer by layer, over time.
