Silver Poetry Spring Fever Ring by Junko Mori

The silver wreath sculpture by Japanese artist Junko Mori comprises 31 different hand-made parts clustered to create a ring of flowers and leaves. Some parts of the silver are polished to make them shiny, while others are left white. The number 31 references the Japanese poetic tradition of the ‘Tanka’ in which 31 syllables are used.
