Thorns have long occupied a dual space in history—serving as both a sacred symbol of endurance and a practical form of protection. In botanical history, these sharp silhouettes evolved as a vital defense mechanism, allowing plants to thrive in the most unforgiving environments. This series draws from those ancient forms, focusing on the primal shapes and survival tactics that define life in the desert. It is a look at how nature uses sharp lines not just to ward off threats, but to endure the passage of time.
