Made from layers of paper cutouts, myriad leaves and blooms invite viewers to immerse themselves in a jungle-like atmosphere. Most recently, Celeste completed compositions for Riem Arcaden Munich, Cartier, and the American Museum of Natural History. Find more on the artist's Instagram."

Clare Celeste crafts large-scale installations of foliage and flowers that glow against dark backgrounds. The works are constructed from layered paper cutouts that form myriad leaves and blooms. Compositions emphasize contrast, scale, and color to animate delicate paper into dense, botanical scenes. The installations invite viewers to immerse themselves in a jungle-like atmosphere and function as both site-specific displays and photographic spectacles. Recent commissions include projects for Riem Arcaden Munich, Cartier, and the American Museum of Natural History. Additional images and updates are available via the artist's Instagram.
