Erosion is inspired on the book 'La lecture des Pierres' by Roger Caillois. Narcissus is inspired on the painting 'Narcissus' by Caravaggio; a metaphor for the destructive relationship between men and nature. The vase shows an isolated flower in a pool of oil. Erosion on earth is caused by natural elements such as wind, water and glacial ice. It is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down. Ice flower is an ice-like cube referring to Global Seed Vault on Spitsbergen. A pile of glass plates with petals in between which create a depth and new scene with the actual living flower.
