MARU MORI

The Heartbreaking Simplicity 
of Ordinary Things *
​
Casually fallen fruits and petals 
represent slightly uncomfortable and
awkward, but also, beautiful and tasty,
fragments of nature.
 
These unique, colourful glass shapes 
form a strong visualisation of 
the joy of nature and the circle of life.

* The meaning of "Maru Mori" from The dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig
