home grown
a kaleidoscopic shell coming to BRC 25

Our collective need for shelter has never felt more urgent. Like the humble snail, we search for ways to carry our sanctuary with us. Each of us builds our temporary homes in the dust, but within this shell, we find a deeper reflection of our shared journey. As a child, I feared snails - their vulnerability hidden beneath hard exteriors. Yet they embody our own story: carrying home on our backs, retreating when needed, yet recomposing the world as we move.
The spiraling shell, crafted from reclaimed wood and glowing panels, shows how we too can transform our barriers into windows of beauty. Spaces where we can pause, breathe, and open ourselves to connection. As light filters through, we're reminded that even our hardest shells can become translucent, letting others' light in while sharing our own glow.
As night falls and the structure glows from within, it becomes a beacon for others seeking refuge, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we can light the way for each other.
