Alocasia in Grain

“Alocasia in Grain” transforms the familiar silhouette of the beloved houseplant into a study of permanence, warmth, and natural form. Carved from solid Guanacaste hardwood, each leaf unfurls with gentle asymmetry, echoing the botanical drama of an alocasia while celebrating the tactile richness of wood.

The sculpture captures the plant’s signature boldness—broad, shield-like leaves and elegant upward lift—yet replaces the fleeting softness of foliage with the enduring strength of timber. Subtle variations in grain act as organic veining, allowing the material itself to mimic the rhythms of living growth.

Mounted in a minimalist ceramic base, this piece balances refined craftsmanship with an earthy, sculptural presence. It serves simultaneously as a tribute to botanical beauty and a meditation on nature’s ability to inspire even in its most stylized, hand-hewn form.

Perfect for modern interiors, biophilic spaces, or collectors drawn to natural materials, “Alocasia in Grain” stands as a quietly powerful homage to both craft and the living world.
