Trillium

Three-petaled trilliums arranged around a central hub, the petals of one flower interlocking with the petals of its neighbors. The trillium — a North American woodland wildflower with three petals, three sepals, and three leaves — has the kind of clean three-fold structure that survives heavy stylization.

The arrangement turns botanical observation into precise geometry. The flowers don’t scatter; they lock into a strict repeat the way a printed textile or a stenciled wall border would arrange them.

At jewelry scale one flower becomes a pendant face. The same drawing scales up to a tile inset, a wall stencil, or a piece of inlaid panel work.
