Air plants are epiphytes which means they absorb their moisture and nutrients from the air. This allows for a lot of creativity in how they’re displayed because they don’t need soil. I wanted to play off the elegant simplicity of the organism while celebrating the weird and wiggly bodies that vary widely between species.

I chose clear glass and metallic edges for elegance and simplicity, and added wiggly wire accents for a visually interesting and playful finish. I used the copper foil stained glass technique to build the hangers, then filled them with plants based on size and personality.
