cocoon

An Eucalyptus tree bark, its raw edges lovingly preserved, has been skillfully shaped into a cylindrical form. Its inner sanctum adorned with opulent gold, while its outer shell retains the earthy warmth of natural brown, it now suspends horizontally from the ceiling.

An exquisite constellation of perforations graces its surface, inviting light to dance and weave its magic. Beneath, a transformation awaits, reminiscent of a butterfly’s cocoon. Here, the rhythmic weave of honeysuckle vines forms a pattern of squares, akin to a woven basket, draped in delicate white tissue paper, conjuring the spirit of a Chinese lantern.
