Finding Eden

Food, flowers, and objects have a rich and captivating history, shaping cultures, religions, and civilizations across time. From ancient Egypt and medieval Europe to the Victorian era and the present day, they have played meaningful roles in rituals, ceremonies, art, and everyday life. Our relationship with food and flowers is particularly intimate, revealing a profound connection between humans and the natural world. Both require care, nourishment, and nurturing, while their colors, textures, scents, and tastes engage the senses and have the power to influence our emotional and physical well-being.

Finding Eden explores the harmony, beauty, and transformative power of nature. Inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “The Secret Garden,” the collection serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. It encourages you to “hear with your eyes” and appreciate the vivid colors found in the temporary beauty of flowers, the succulence of fruit, and the symbolic depth woven into textiles. We understand that eventually, the flowers will wither, the fruit will spoil, and the objects will deteriorate. What is ultimately portrayed is not simply the objects themselves, but our awareness of their impermanence—and the desire to pause and appreciate them while they are here.
