The artist wrote accompanying mythology for each Stupad sculpture:
“Because of their plant-like form, Stupads are often put in soil. The Circadian Stupad is especially adept to be living in a pot of soil in the home, where it blooms during the daytime. Its dichromatic petals unfurl briefly from the hollow core in the morning and are gone by the time the sun sets. Owners, many of them are gardeners or farmers, consult the blooming colors for guidance on what to grow and when, while others read them as emotional weather forecasts. The blooms vanish by the evening leaving nothing more than a stub. The cycle begins again the following day, reminding practitioners the need for rest and restoration.”
