The Present is a Gift, Rhythms of Nature, presents a series of knit surfaces made out of locally sourced plant materials. The textiles carry out the transient beauty of a continuously changing landscape, emphasizing cycles of growth and decay that are inherent in nature. Through closely listening to the streams of the natural environment, the collection of vegetal skins has come to life. Each piece represents the discovering point of its raw material, revealing the plant's identity and showing the weather circumstances of the period wherein the plant grew and was harvested. By placing the raw materials on a statue to admire, the project aims to stimulate a closer bond between human being and nature.

The tactile expressions are knitted on a domestic knitting machine. While knitting, the plant materials are carefully inserted in the structure of loops. Due to the given that each plant is unique, the process of knitting is never the same.
