FLORAMERE: A LIVING NETWORK
Two contrasting sides anchor this installation, each rising from its own roots. Above, a mycelium-inspired network connects them, symbolizing partnership, collaboration, and shared growth. Together, the forms tell a story of how separate beginnings intertwine, revealing the unseen connections that allow ideas, relationships, and creative exchange to flourish.
