Rising tall and slender, this vase is shaped from the fractured trunk of a black walnut tree—its break from the storm preserved, not hidden. The raw face where the wood snapped has been refined just enough to reveal its tension and grace, a moment of violence stilled into form.
At its peak, a glass vial transforms the piece into a vessel for a single stem or branch. The contrast between the obelisk’s clean geometry and the chaotic beauty of the break gives the work its quiet power. A monument to impermanence, made permanent.
