I found a magnolia seed pod while attending school in Los Angeles. Having never seen one before and being enamored with its furry and artichoke-like surface I took it all the way back home to New Jersey with me. It seems as if it embodies so much despite not having fully released its contents. I placed it on a velvet toy couch to carry its weight to happily cradle it while surrounded by flourishing plants. A ghostly magnolia petal sits in front of the couch as an obvious nod towards what could have been.
