It is a transparent cactus like ice or snowflakes, and it is also a winter figure of water cactus.
It grows quietly in the crevices of the snow piled up.
ice cactus is a sculpture made of slightly whitish transparent resin.
I made it with a cactus of the genus Ginocalycium as a motif.
Lightly painted with transparent paint.
I planted it in a flowerpot that I made myself with white mortar.
The vessel may have cracks or chips to give a sense of the passage of time.
At the tip of the cactus, there is a small Φ1mm hole that is not conspicuous so that dried flowers with thin stems can grow.
*For those who wish, we will send dried flowers like the one used in the photo shoot.
