Nypa

The sculpture Nypa is based on the beautiful fruit of the Nypa palm three in Southern Vietnam. When Petra saw the plant for the first time she fell in love with the fruit and transported the big fruit to her home in Hanoi. While trying to dry it, the ball of seed pods fell apart into smaller pieces. There was no reason to be sad as those pieces were even more interesting. One of the parts became the inspiration of this new work, which was really challenging and interesting to create. 

The hat of Nypa is also about fertility with imprints of different seeds, grass and wood.
