The binding force at the center of things.

Musubi is a Shinto concept describing the generative force that connects, creates, binds. It is in the growth of plants, in the joining of materials, in the assembly of found things into something coherent. A green topiary stands on a live-edge platter above a small fallen world of moss and dried blooms. It is musubi made visible, and it holds the room.
