This artwork is a striking fusion of nature and music, showcasing a violin enveloped in a lush array of flowers. The instrument, while retaining its sleek, classic form, is adorned with an assortment of blossoms in rich hues of burgundy, dusty pink, and soft peach. Textured foliage intersperses among the flowers, adding layers and depth to the composition. The meticulous arrangement of flora seems to grow organically from the violin's body, suggesting a harmonious blend of auditory and visual art. The contrast between the dark wood of the violin and the vibrant bouquet is both dramatic and elegant. This piece transcends traditional sculpture, capturing the ephemeral beauty of flowers in a symbiotic relationship with the enduring allure of music, making it a unique representation of creative synergy.

For this body of works, Krag incorporates live and dry flowers, vines, moss, air plants and ocean driftwood creating botanical instruments that seem to touch on contrasting themes of vitality and decay. He creates breathing and dying objects deeply connected to the passing of time, stilled lives contemplating mortality and the brevity of beauty and life. Photography helps Kevin Krag to freeze in time he's one of a kind sculptures capturing the spiritual dimension, the vulnerability and mortality of his ephemeral pieces. Using ethically sourced archival photography cotton paper integrating another organic and sensual piece to the puzzle, standing the test of time and having the least possible adverse impact on the environment.
