Natural Grown
galvanised metal
Vodárenská věž, České Budějovice
This striking metal sculpture is inspired by the thistle — a symbol of resilience, protection and regeneration. Its delicate yet powerful shapes unfold dynamically outwards, while the curved metal structures recall roots and connection. Natural Grown embodies the process of reconnecting — to oneself, to nature and to other people. A singular quality of this sculpture is the way its colour changes with the surrounding temperature. The metal shifts colour according to the temperature, making the invisible changes of nature tangible. The rough industrial material contrasts with the organic form of the thistle and creates a compelling dialogue between humanity and nature, past and future, separation and renewed connection.
