What if we treated ideas as physical seeds?

Having this question as a starting point, I created five brooches, each made from a single seed: tagua nut, avocado pit, mango seed, date pit, and conker.

I combined them with jesmonite as if it were a structural part of the seed itself, a material that behaves like concrete but carries the lightness of an initial thought. Through this combination, my idea is that these pieces act as a reminder that when we nourish an intention, it doesn't just grow; it solidifies. It becomes a permanent part of our
narrative.

And for me, that's what these brooches are: an idea brought to concrete reality.
