Detail Description

MARU MORI

The heartbreaking simplicity

of ordinary things*



Casually fallen fruits and petals 

represent slightly uncomfortable and

awkward, but also, beautiful and tasteful,

fragments of nature.

 

These unique, colourful glass shapes 

form a strong visualisation of 

the joy of nature and the circle of life.

 

Bibi Smit has recently been commissioned

to create a large suspended light sculpture

for the entrance of the exhibition hall 

of the prestigious Mauritshuis Museum.
