Marking the quiet, deliberate beginning of the Blooming Period — a phase rooted in replanting, regrowing, and learning to cultivate life again after an emotional winter. This piece carries the sensation of starting over with intention. Its exterior skin is composed of layered, geometric green squares, echoing the rhythm of overlapping leaves — structured yet organic. 
 
Inside, the form reveals a moss-like interior, soft and tender — a living core beginning to take hold. This internal landscape symbolizes the earliest stage of healing: the fragile re-emergence of stability, the first sprouts of self-trust returning after rupture. It is not yet exuberant, not yet in full bloom — but it breathes. It holds potential.
