Collection concept: Parasitus plantae I, II, III
The basic form of the brooch collection is a geometric body, which represents a stylized, abstract shape of a living plant, for example a tree trunk or fertile soil, from which a parasitic plant grows and is sucked onto it, feeding on its juices and thus drawing energy from it for its own survival and growth. The collection represents a symbiosis between two living organisms, between the host and an uninvited guest.
