Inspired by floral still-lifes by Dutch artist Rachel Ruysch, this hand-built porcelain sculpture captures the delicate tension between fragility and defiance in a single tulip. Mirroring Ruysch’s meticulous attention to nature, Jo reframes the often-overlooked language of flowers — long entwined with femininity and domesticity — into a quietly powerful presence. This work invites contemplation on the interplay between beauty, decay, and cultural significance.
