Entangled Mycorrhizae

This sculpture explores mycorrhiza, a symbiotic relationship between plant roots and fungus. These two seemingly separate organisms are inextricably linked and interconnected, fungi facilitates with nutrient exchange, providing a barrier against some pathogens and enables inter plant communication. I wanted this sculpture to be narrative driven, so each part tells a story of this fascinating dynamic and hopefully captures this sense of awe that I feel when looking through my microscope
