About the Item

Joy Herro’s planter looks ready to take flight. It’s black, heavy, and sharp, like something built for war but it holds a green plant, soft and alive. It’s as if the plant is caught between two worlds: one that wants to grow and one that wants to escape. The rocket legs say, “Maybe we’ll leave the damaged world,” but the plant says, “Maybe we can still stay.” It’s a dark joke about our times, trying to care for nature while everything around us feels like it’s falling apart. Joy's Planter was part of Dark Times, Bright Signs. “Times have been dark” more than once in history, and “the world has been falling apart” for centuries, countless times, generation after generation. Today, though, dystopia feels particularly realistic—certified, experienced electronically in real-time, and reinforced by scientific theories now accessible to all. Apocalyptic thinking not only surrounds us—it has become mainstream. Driven by this condition of hyperawareness, swept by waves of eco-anxiety, saturated by conflict and forced to face a rapidly-evolving reality—a new generation is developing new languages, perhaps forms of reworking, toward new balances, of hope. At the same time, though, the apocalyptic scenarios around us—or rather, upon us—cannot help but permeate our gaze, consciously or otherwise, shaping the creative language of today and the way we parse the world. Limited edition. Standard production time is approximately 8–9 weeks once current stock is sold out. One piece available for immediate delivery. For projects involving multiple units, production time may vary.
