Carved from a gnarled cross section of maple, this vase curves and loops in a gesture that feels both natural and intentional. Its form echoes the shape of an italic ampersand—fluid, continuous, and expressive.
A glass vial nests within, allowing for a single stem or a simple arrangement. The contrast between wood and glass, solid and delicate, underscores the piece’s quiet balance. Each curve reveals the story of the tree’s growth—complex, imperfect, and beautifully resolved.
