What comes to mind when you hear the word: dandelion seed? I would think of it as a childhood experience where children blow its fluffy seeds. Who would have thought you can make sculptures out of it?
Tokyo-based artist Euglena sees the dandelion seed as an artistic tool.
She harvests them to create impossibly delicate sculptures that beg to be observed up close. Just don’t sneeze.
Euglena uses dandelion seeds to create abstract shapes and forms that somehow manage to balance and maintain their figure. It’s difficult to fully appreciate the artist’s work in photographs because the element of air and movement is so important in the work.
Since the sculptures are so delicate and can only be seen up close, viewers are asked to be careful when viewing them.
