A handful of seeds, scattered to feed the birds, becomes an unexpected treasure chest of beauty. In their tiny shapes and varied colors, I saw small pearls, a discreet treasure that nature offers without demands.

To this, I added the strength of semi-precious stones: green jade, fresh and lively, and red garnet, intense and passionate. Together with the seeds, they create a visual contrast that overturns the traditional hierarchies between what we define as “precious” and what we often overlook.

What is truly precious? Perhaps not gold, nor rarity, but the gaze capable of recognizing wonder even in a simple seed.
