TRUTH
Stacked vessels in TRUTH symbolize the authenticity we hold dear. Cobalt portals invite insight, while the hillside bench nearby offers quiet space to consider what truths we share with the world.
“Our fascination with the wild is really a fascination with the histories that severed us from our land.” —Cannupa Hanska Luger
Part of Nature, Energy, & Reflection
One of eight site-specific ceramic installations at Dow Gardens | May 2025 – April 2026
This sculpture is part of Nature, Energy, & Reflection, a year-long installation exploring the quiet dialogue between clay, breath, and place. Each piece was created in response to a specific site within the Gardens and is paired with a guided meditation to deepen connection and awareness. Together, the works invite visitors to tune into the subtle energies of the natural world—and the resonance within.
