Pink Pole is a welded steel structure adorned with spent shotgun shells that evokes both human control and nature’s persistent reclamation. Painted pink and staked like wild vines, the piece transforms symbols of violence into something unexpectedly playful, reflecting the tension between permanence and surrender to the natural world.
