Oneness' embodies the feeling of completeness. In this sculpture, Aram combines human and plant forms to signify the inexorable connection between man and nature. The vines rise from the earth, twisting and metamorphosing into two embracing humans, characterizing a sense of profound love and unification.

"For me, 'Oneness' encapsulates a sense of unity and connection for humanity and nature. It signifies the love and regard for ourselves and one another; characterizing the oldest and most profound known natural bond."

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
"The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies...as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye."

Monet's Garden is inspired by Claude Monet's garden in Giverny. The gardens Monet designed at his atmospheric country home contrast and complement one another, and are captured here in the sculpts throughout Aram's collection. "I felt like I slipped into another world when I first went to Giverny. Monet considered the garden his most beautiful masterpiece, and when the nasturtiums carpet the Grande Allee in late summer, it's easy to see why. The entire grounds are transformed into a truly sublime, lucid mosaic of shape, texture and color."

The Michael Aram Botanical Leaf Collection takes its inspiration from the intricacies of form and texture found in particular types of foliage. Reminiscent of eucalyptus and seagrape, the structure celebrates the twisting branches as much as it does the leaves themselves. "The image of leaves and branches is eternal, and has some kind of meaning for almost everyone. For me, the motif conjures a sense of freshness and fragility, while the materials and craftsmanship speak of something more robust, more human."
