This furniture collection serves as an homage to nature and the relationship between humans and the earth.
One of the first steps in colonialism and the presumption of superiority over another human is to dehumanize said other human. If we saw worth and beauty in all living things maybe there wouldn’t be so much entitlement.
We all have a life force flowing through us, through all living things. That is where our value is, and it’s precious. It's fragile and mighty, imperfect and faultless.
