Tequesta Vanda Orchid by Paloma Teppa

Tequesta Vanda pairs the architectural beauty of a Vanda orchid with the raw, organic character of sculptural Florida keystone. The orchid is integrated directly into the stone, allowing its exposed aerial roots to cascade naturally over the textured surface and become part of the composition.

Each piece celebrates the contrast between delicate living material and ancient mineral form, creating a one-of-a-kind botanical sculpture that evolves over time as the orchid grows, blooms, and develops new roots.
