Lepän uni / Grey alder’s dream
Glazed ceramics, clay, dried plants, grey alder seeds. 2025.
In the installation, small clay eggs surround a ceramic sculpture where companion species of grey alder have morphed together. The eggs contain grey alder seeds that visitors can take and plant wherever they wish. Grey alder thrives in open areas and improves the soil for other species, laying the groundwork for future forests.
