𝑔𝓇𝒢𝓃𝒹𝓂𝒢 π“‚π‘œπ‘œπ“ƒ is a soft sculpture that I created after my grandmother passed away. In navigating the grief of her absence, I began to build a symbolic relationship in which the moon became a vessel for her being: constant, cyclical, and always present. Picturing her on a white horse, the horse's hair feels like a conductor for the earthly transition. Through this act, the sculpture became more than an objectβ€”it became a space of transition and connection, where loss could be held and transformed.
