East of Eden is made from a discarded teddy bear found at a child’s grave, carefully filled with thousands of dandelion seeds. Part of an ongoing series exploring grief and childhood memory, the piece offers a quiet meditation on mourning, loss, and the fragility of life, juxtaposing the innocence of childhood with the weight of remembrance and the ephemeral nature of care.
