lifes of grass

stunning. can you believe this? Maybe it's because all my grass is under 2 feet of snow (well now more like a big white iceberg), but I cant stop looking at these. They are absolutely breathtaking. Horticulture mixes with art to form these modern sculptures.

Mathilde Roussel-Giraurdy's lifes of grass.

"Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, it's origin, it's transport, has an impact on us beyond it's taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat makes us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality."
