Black clay, wood, flowers, dirt<br><br>Earth Shrine, flowers – alive and delicate. Emblems of love, grief, apology, celebration and the divine feminine. Beguiling beauty and scents that lure insects, birds, and humans alike. This shrine to the collaborative nature of Earth’s wisdom is a test of human desire. Can we allay our must-haves and so-called needs in a hyper-consumerist society? You are welcome to pick the flowers, but will you?
