MY FOUR QUESTIONS
““The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
— ALBERT EINSTEIN
ORANGE/DAYLILY
Living for a single day yet blooming anew each morning, the daylily marks the space between what has been and what is forming; identity as something shaped thru experience, resilience and becoming.
Its color - orange - signifies warmth and change. Always in motion - the daylily embodies the courage to be seen.
.
YELLOW - BUTTERCUP
Bright, humble, and resilient, the buttercup captures and reflects light with an unmistakable glow. It is a small flower carrying joy and quiet resilience - sunlight and the new season of spring.
Its color - yellow - is curious and awake. Leaning into the color is a about noticing - an ongoing practice of listening and personal growth.
PINK/APPLE BLOSSOM
Emerging at the threshold of earliest spring, the apple blossom symbolizes fragility, renewal, and the promise inherent in early blooms. It is a flower of beginnings—brief, luminous, and deeply connected to lineage.
Its color - pink - carries memory held close to the body. It speaks to tenderness, care and what is most cherished. It is the color of the heart’s archive - reminding us that remembrance is not fixed, but a constantly renewable resource; fragile and alive.
BLUE/FORGET-ME-NOT
Tiny and sky-colored, the forget-me-not carries a universal message of remembrance, love, and ancestral continuity. It is a symbol of stories that persist, even in their smallness.
Its color - blue - opens outward. It is the color of breath, and the vast clear sky: a space in which one may let go and allow possibility to enter. Freedom is not escape, but the quiet permission to become unbound.
Four sculptural forms gather here, each holding color as a quiet question. They act as vessels carrying memory and the act of becoming.
They are shaped by what is remembered, what is released, and what continues to grow.
At every passover seder - Jews gather around food and ritual, reciting and asking Four Questions:
Why is this night different?
This work moves in rhythm with those Four Questions—making them my own:
What do we remember?
What frees us?
What do we learn?
Who are we becoming?
The responses - are not answers, but lived inquiries.
Color unfolds through the natural world. Each form is paired with a flower whose presence carries history, emotion, and care, allowing meaning to bloom slowly, season by season. Together, the sculptures create a shared landscape—chromatic and intimate—where color, memory, and inquiry gently echo across one another.
Here, memory is a garden—tended and untended, fragile and persistent. Each color emerges as a trace, a pause, a singular moment that holds both what has been and what is still unfolding.
