A Houseplant (kinetic sculpture, just add water)

A HOUSEPLANT- by artist Petri Eskelinen

Houseplant acts like a real plant. When water is poured to the center of the plant the 8 branches will rise from the weight of the water. First slow but increasingly faster. When can is lowered to the floor, the water will start dripping back to the can. This will let the branches and leaves come down again. So, the plant will fade without water and care.
