The sculpture Muted Seeds is an artistic creation that beckons us to consider the limitations of our senses and the mysteries that lie beyond our limited understanding. The piece is crafted with a charred coconut resting atop a brass and copper tripod and two other sculptural elements meticulously arranged on a wood plate coated with lead paint. Three dice carved from a block of radioactive ore add to the eerie, otherworldly atmosphere, inviting us to consider the invisible forces at play in our world. The inclusion of a distorted branch of cedar wood from the Chernobyl exclusion zone heightens the sense of the unknown, the unseen. This thought-provoking work, with its scientific undertones, encourages us to ponder the mysteries of the world around us.
