"Pixelated Wonder: A Mother’s View" 2020
The beauty of childhood is in its firsts—the first laugh, the first steps, the first time the world becomes a playground of possibilities. Pixelated Wonder: A Mother’s View is a visual sonnet to that fleeting moment when a child’s imagination expands, unbound by reality, sparked by the simple act of play.
This handcrafted, one-of-a-kind planter is a meditation on nostalgia, joy, and the boundless potential of Black childhood. Inspired by the moment I first witnessed my son’s face light up at the sight of a video game screen, this piece captures the magic of discovery. His hands gripped the controller, his eyes wide with wonder—completely enraptured in a world of color, adventure, and possibility. It was in that moment that I saw not just a child playing, but a mind unlocking.
Rendered in a bold, dynamic palette of rich reds, cobalt blues, and brilliant yellow, this planter mirrors the energetic vibrancy of 8-bit nostalgia and the joyous chaos of playtime. The rounded bulb shape, accented with sculptural handles, represents the fullness of imagination—the way a single moment in childhood can ripple into a lifetime of creativity and self-discovery. The deep black saucer is a grounding force, symbolizing the foundation of guidance, culture, and ancestral wisdom that nurtures every young dreamer.
As with every piece from The Planter’s Tailor, this planter is an interplay between art and nature—where the structured precision of design meets the organic, unpredictable beauty of life. Just as a child’s mind grows when nurtured, so too does a plant thrive within this vessel of storytelling.
Signed and numbered, this limited-edition collector’s piece is an invitation to remember, to celebrate, and to honor the small yet transformative moments that define our stories. Pixelated Wonder: A Mother’s View is not just a planter—it is an heirloom of joy, a reflection of legacy, and a vessel of growth in every sense of the word.
