Description
These milkweed pod shells have done their job. Inside them, seeds for new plants grew; when they were mature, the pods split open and released the seeds, borne by the wind on silky wings, to new homes. Those that end up in fertile soil and a hospitable location will germinate and produce new plants. In the meantime, we have only this reminder of their former home. I called this piece "Comfort" because of the way the two pods are gently touching, as if consoling one another for their loss.
