The brief was loose. Sukkot, we told Rosie, is a harvest festival built around a temporary shelter with a roof of cut branches - open enough to see the sky through. A week of eating outdoors under something deliberately unfinished, with a standing invitation for guests. Take what’s useful.
She came back with light instead of objects. A stairway rising toward a wood lattice. A palm’s fruit, seen from below. Queen Anne’s Lace holding its small, white canopy on a thread of a stem. A field of wildflowers with weather moving in behind it. Dahlias at their absolute peak, which is also the beginning of their end.
All of it sits in the conditions the holiday asks us to sit in: abundance, exposure, and the particular beauty of a structure you build already knowing you’ll take it down.
