About this artwork
ESSENCE OF FRAGILENESS AND ROBUSTNESS A vase interpretation of a eucalyptus seed capsule
This sculpture, made of galvanized iron wire, combines strength and lightness. With delicate lines, I have captured the essence of fragility and robustness. It brings a dynamic energy to any room, as if time and space merge in a dance. An object that evokes thoughts of continuity and change.
Eucalyptus seed pods have peculiar shapes and structures. Each individual… seed head is a sculpture in itself. In my work as a florist, I have discovered many unique pod shapes that have always fascinated me.

Maja Hochuli is a trained florist who creates delicate wire sculptures for the home and garden. She has mastered a self-developed weaving technique using galvanized iron wire, inspired by the forms and structures of nature, where symmetry and geometry play a central role. Her artworks capture the fragility and, at the same time, the enduring strength of nature, lending a poetic lightness to any space through subtle plays of light and shadow.
Artist Statement
“For me, wire is like a malleable brushstroke that flows through my hands. I continuously and deliberately transfer it to the workpiece, which then grows into a three-dimensional object.”
