This is an ceiling hung installation piece, equally comfortable spanning a corner, mid-room, or hanging in a vestibule, so its dimensions are variable. A poem (I wrote) was the inspiration for this piece. In tandem with the seeds, directly above them, the "pods" hover, point, and twirl in a breeze. It is my hope that the work leads the viewer to consider cycles of many beginnings as energy that is self-determined, independent, and has infinite potential for continuance of growth.
