A collection of works exploring flowers that grow wild in areas of conflict, the Peace Flowers series pays homage to Helen Chadwick's Piss Flowers.
Constructed through pouring casting material over piles of debris, the flowers collect shards and remnants, drawing fragmentary material into their skins. Shield-like they abruptly confront the viewer, revealing their fragile and brittle shell-like structures.
