Plants Plants bring life, softness, and time right into style-- they note the periods, recover hard sides, and remind us that areas are part of bigger ecologies. Empty Spaces I'm attracted to the peaceful stress of areas not being made use of-- spaces left empty, corners stopped in time, architecture waiting for purpose or worn down from usage. These spaces remind me that style continues to resonate also in lack-- exposing traces of previous use, failed to remember intent, or quiet potential.
