I love rotating house plants in and out of the greenhouse all winter long, which means I always have plants in my house.

The ridges of eucalyptus bark, the geometries of shell formations, moss-covered trees, Indigenous grasslands and the hidden networks of fungi beneath the soil. These landscapes produce organic yet abstract patterns - natural systems that quietly shape the way we see and design the world around us.

Wendy, a project manager from New Jersey, and Michael, a vice president of a communications consulting firm from Philadelphia, met on Hinge, where for the first (and last) time in her life, Wendy messaged him first.
