Seasonal Wreaths
These wreaths explore the circle as a recurring form in nature and human tradition. Created from gathered and preserved natural materials, each reflects a different moment in the seasonal cycle — from autumn’s accumulation and winter’s endurance to spring’s renewal. The works bring together natural textures, cultural associations, and the symbolic continuity of the circular form.
Title: Forest Memory
Direction: Before the Worlds / Ancestral Languages / Seasonal Wreaths

Dimensions: Approx. 25 × 25 cm | 9.8 × 9.8 in
Weight: Approx. 200 g
Display: Wall-mounted, indoor
About Artwork:
Forest Memory brings together fragments of the woodland into a circular composition. Moss, cones, seeds, and dried plants retain their individual textures while becoming part of a new, interconnected form.
The wreath reflects autumn as a season of accumulation rather than simply disappearance. Each natural element has already passed through its own cycle of growth, change, and release. Gathered together, these fragments become a material record of the landscape.
The circular structure suggests continuity: what has fallen, dried, or been left behind is not entirely lost, but becomes part of another arrangement. Through this process, the wreath explores how nature preserves traces of time within its changing forms.
Title: The Winter Circle
Direction: Before the Worlds / Ancestral Languages / Seasonal Wreaths
Medium: Mixed media, evergreen branches, pine cones, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, dried botanical elements, decorative spheres and painted natural materials on a metal base
Dimensions: Approx. 45 × 45 cm | 17.7 × 17.7 in
Weight: Approx. 2 kg
Display: Door-mounted, sheltered outdoor entrance
About Artwork:
The Winter Circle explores the wreath as a symbol of continuity during the darkest season of the year.
Evergreen branches suggest persistence, while dried oranges, cinnamon, cones, and preserved botanical forms carry traces of earlier growth and warmth. Some elements have been transformed through drying or painting, allowing natural materials to take on new visual roles without losing their origins.
Traditionally placed at an entrance, the wreath marks the boundary between the outside world and the space of home. In this work, that threshold becomes a place where seasonal change, memory, and the human desire for warmth meet.
The circle has no visible beginning or end. Even in winter, it holds the possibility of return.
Title: The First Awakening
Direction: Before the Worlds / Ancestral Languages / Seasonal Wreaths
Medium: Mixed media, hand-sculpted clay eggs painted with ivory acrylic, natural fibres, moss, pine cones, acorns, chestnuts, dried seed pods, maple and ash seeds, twigs and other botanical elements on a metal base
Dimensions: Approx. 30 × 30 cm | 11.8 × 11.8 in
Weight: Approx. 500 g
Display: Wall-mounted, indoor
About Artwork:
The First Awakening explores the moment when nature begins to emerge from winter.
Eggs, opened seed pods, fine branches, and soft plant fibres bring together forms associated with protection, germination, and new life. Some remain enclosed, while others have already opened, revealing the delicate transition between potential and growth.
Unlike the dense accumulation of the autumn wreath or the enduring greenery of the winter composition, this work is built around lightness, openness, and anticipation.
The circular form connects these fragile beginnings to the larger rhythm of seasonal return. Spring appears not as a completed transformation, but as a process that has only just begun.
