What Grew From Them

Demir's collector came to him for a memorial to both her parents, and Demir builds it as one plant. Her mother taught Texas history, so the bluebonnets carry her. Her father was a tennis pro, so the ball sits in the soil at the wrist and the flowers grow straight up out of it. Demir runs the stems along the inner forearm so the piece reads wrist to elbow as her arm hangs, and warms the ground behind to orange so the blue stays cold against it. The roots wrap the ball rather than hiding it. This has taken one session so far, of an estimated one to two. By Demir.
