Moth collar

For my
Conceptual class

Our assignment was to choose
a weird material (for ex. anything)
and let the material speak for itself.

I choose this foam/mat
that protects wood tables

It said it wanted to be fringed
into a collar
with moths and flowers all over

Here is a quote (from a book I love with all my heart)
that I transformed
into the cycle of a birds life:

“The Bird is fighting its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wishes to be born must destroy the world. The bird is flying to God. ” from the novella Damian, by Hermann Hesse
