Embeded / White Rose

Petals of innocence are formed according to the angel formation of the “Wilton diptych”, the divine space is maximised its centripetal force by the vessel's gravity.

Petal, petal, petal!

Silver petals were rolled with Khadi washi paper for a subtle texture, and formed by hammering.
