The Shasta Daisy Collection explores the relationship between objects created to project power and a single, delicate flower that disrupts them. Each artwork introduces a Shasta Daisy into machines, monuments, and symbols we often accept as fixed, tools of authority, conflict, or influence.
The daisy isn’t presented as an answer or a statement. It simply exists where it shouldn’t, shifting the meaning of the object it touches. That quiet interruption invites the viewer to reconsider what they’re looking at: whether the flower softens the symbol, challenges it, exposes it, or outgrows it is left entirely to individual interpretation.
Through hyper-real simplicity and minimal staging, the collection focuses on contrast, nature versus structure, softness versus force, significance versus insignificance. Rather than prescribe a message, each piece offers space for reflection, allowing the viewer’s own experiences and beliefs to shape the narrative.
Ultimately, the power of the work lies in that tension: a single daisy altering the way we see the things we thought we already understood.
