"Willow Dust" is based on a grain of pollen from the Goat Willow Tree. We often forget, as we travel through the world with our ‘human-based scale’, how everything around us is highly detailed and intricately woven together. To us, they are invisible. But if our surroundings were magnified, we would find an alien world with amazing forms, textures, & colors, densely populated with endless organisms and objects. A grain of pollen is incredibly small and so easily forgotten, but an irreplaceable step in the creation of life for the Willow tree, as well as for a whole ecosystem. Realizing the beauty and importance of these tiny, small entities is fascinating and humbling.
