With its dreamlike, chimerical forms that awaken our visual intuition and imagination, this sculpture is a sensory and poetic distillation inspired by the language of seeds. Pyrophytic seeds, which germinate only through fire — a paradoxical poetry of destruction and rebirth — are the primary inspiration for this micro-series. Each piece holds a unique fragrance that tells its own olfactory story. Tucked away in the garden among plants, textures and scents, or placed where the wind can carry it — near the house or along a terrace — each sculpture releases its fragrance, enhancing the soothing presence that nature and the garden already offer.
