During my residency in Saaremaa, I gathered wildflowers and herbs from the coastal meadows and pastures and wove them around a wire to create an installation-like wreath. Following folk tradition, I intertwined nine different plant species into a wreath, gathered from seven different patches of land. According to local legend, placing the wreath under your pillow will let you see your future spouse in a dream. With its greater size, my wreath channels even more power to manifest love and fortune.
