The symbol
The teasel's firm stalk and protective thorns give strength a visible form. The plant keeps its distinctive shape as it dries, suggesting endurance that allows experience to leave a mark without losing what makes you yourself.
The material
Recycled Bronze gives the talisman a warm brown color and solid weight. Reuse adds a simple association with carrying useful strength from an earlier form into a new one.
