“A bird of paradise, a dragon fruit, and a spiked club — in the same bag.”

The work that names the collection. A bird of paradise, a dragon fruit and a spiked club, carried together in one bag. Soft, bright, harmless-looking — and never alone: something sharp always waits close by, barely visible, almost transparent, sensed before it is seen. Beneath every sweetness sits the hardness that grew it.

From a distance this is an island — soft, green, its markets overflowing, its days ordinary and calm — with a danger underneath that never announces itself and never fully leaves. Life continues anyway: buy the fruit, water the plants, keep going. The oldest still lifes set a skull on the table and said nothing, yet it weighed on everything. Here the blade does the same — sweetness and quiet threat held in one frame, priced under a single slogan: jade lady, premium selection.
