I tried to reproduce a conventional gardening practice in an unconventional manner (maybe even in a superfluous manner). I incorporated multiple (3, remember the Native American relevance as an odd entity) tomato cages into my design. Tomato cages are devices made of galvanized wire used to contain and hold tomato vines upright, to prevent spoiling or improper growth. For those who keep organic gardens, they may have come in contact with such equipment. These were used as a scaffold to support the wilting roses that were a part of my design, creating a rather ironic piece.
