Inspired by the flowers of a passion fruit vine that grows wild in my backyard in San Juan, P.R., âWild Passionâ is a mosaic that captures the flowerâs striking structure and vivid presence. Using glass and wire, I echoed the intricate beauty of its petals and curling filaments, forms that seem both delicate and resilient.
Beyond their ornate blooms, these flowers bear a sweet-and-sour fruit: hidden, unexpected, and full of flavor. This work is a tribute to the quiet generosity of natureâhow beauty often carries nourishment, just beneath the surface. Itâs also a celebration of summerâs return, when the fruits of this vine become a refreshing juice, cocktail infusions, the essence of many treats or just simply enjoyed straight from the vine.
