Legend tells of a lonely gardener who wished she could take her beloved garden with her wherever she went. One morning, she discovered a giant snail in her garden, moving so slowly that moss and tiny plants had begun growing on its shell. Instead of shooing it away, she carefully tended to the growing plants, eventually building a tiny shelter to protect them from harsh weather. To her amazement, the snail seemed to thrive under her care, and the garden on its back flourished beyond natural possibility. Small trees took root, flowers bloomed year-round, and the tiny house she built began to glow with warmth on cold nights. The gardener realized she had inadvertently created what she had always dreamed of – a traveling garden that carried its own little world wherever it went.
The Wandering Garden is a whimsical sculpture featuring a large snail carrying an entire miniature world on its shell. The snail itself is crafted in cream-colored tones with delicate details in its form and texture. Atop its shell sits a vibrant green landscape complete with tiny trees, colorful bushes, and a small wooden cottage. The scene includes miniature blue-green trees providing shade, pink flowering bushes, and various smaller vegetation details creating a lush, magical environment. A tiny house with a peaked roof sits nestled among the greenery, suggesting a cozy dwelling place.
