Ethereal Nature 2022
Orchids Festival, Princess of Wales Conservatory, Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, London, UK
Ethereal Nature is an emblematic collection of spirits, elementals, devas and other forces that work for balance, beauty and harmony on our planet. It symbolically represents those energies of creation in a whimsical and colorful yet mysterious way. Ethereal Nature serves as a threshold between the mundane world and that which is not perceived easily by the naked eye. These installations, A day in the Night, Ode to the Orchids and Water is Life at the Princess of Wales Conservatory are intended to create an apotropaic effect and grant the viewers a dose of imagination, wonder and awe for the bountifulness of our Planet. Ethereal Nature honors that which dwells in the unseen and celebrates Earth Magic.
A day in the Night
To wish upon a star is a magical act that connects us with the higher forces of life. This prayer brings us in touch with a potential not yet actualized. To wish to open ourselves to receiving, and if we believe ourselves to be worthy of fulfillment, most likely our dreams will be realized in one way or another. Join the Nature spirits in ritual to send your dreams to the cosmos.
Water is life
Without water this planet would not be the same. This landscape features the cycle of water that allows the blessings on the land to foster. Rainbows, growth, and nutrutrance are exemplified as virtues that water brings. The Talismans and Nature Spirits feel refreshed in this setting and showcase their playfulness and mysticism.
Ode to the Orchids

Orchids are stewards of high end beauty, elegance, exotic luxury, refinement and uniqueness. These symbols are inspired by all the different sizes, chromatic variations and intricate designs orchids hold and serve to honor them.
