Joy Herro’s planter looks ready to take flight. It’s black, heavy, and sharp, like something built for war but it holds a green plant, soft and alive. It’s as if the plant is caught between two worlds: one that wants to grow and one that wants to escape. The rocket legs say, “Maybe we’ll leave the damaged world,” but the plant says, “Maybe we can still stay.” It’s a dark joke about our times, trying to care for nature while everything around us feels like it’s falling apart.
