"ramum tenerum infra praecidito" - “cut the tender branch below."



"Tenderness" is complex, blending fragility, affection, sweetness, and compassion. Its meaning is subjective, holding both delicate sensitivity and darker shades like jealousy and power. Like a hidden treasure buried under layers, tenderness emerges in difficult terrain, balancing softness with strength, delicacy with endurance.


In this installation, the orchid is featured alongside a slightly off-key sound composition, which reflects the complexity of both the flower's story and the meaning of tenderness.


The Viewer is  invited to think about the connections between language, symbolism, and human relationships, and to explore how tenderness can be both fragile and strong at the same time.
