The Ghost & The Scholar has been fabricated from a reclaimed Caterpillar 315 Excavator featuring a collaboration with bunny M.

Dahlias, zinnias, Shasta daisies, and echinacea are natural mandalas. their symmetry and energy foster an organic balance in the industry represented by the excavator's arm.

The porcupine quills suspended across the ceiling represent the lessons learned from an encounter with a porcupine: to remain confident in who we are, there is no need to rush, worry, or be aggressive. We can rely on our armor of quills to protect us.
