Tutu designed by Tania Sanhueza on behalf of Narwhal Art Projects

Inspired by the transformative nature of mushrooms as they grow into beautiful and odd formations from the lowest source of decaying matter, Tania spread the spores of mushrooms onto the tutu, combining their separate but equally magical worlds.
