A nest is a home. Something or someone belongs there. By filling the nests with simple materials I wanted to represent the idea of feeling whole, and belonging somewhere.

The flowing of materials from one basket form to another represents this transition. This thought also applies to life as well and when it is the right time to “leave the nest”.
