from the creator

MAiDENHAiR FERNWEH alludes to a captivating contradiction I've felt all my life:

having a profound appreciation for my present, the Earth & all of her tangible beauty, yet consistently longing for novelty and dreaming of faraway, even fantastical places.

 ✧ 

Why this Name?

A Maidenhair Fern's delicate and intricate elegance serves as an enchanting symbol of our natural world.  The term "Fernweh" represents a deep aching for places yet to be explored (a sentiment akin to being homesick for the unknown).  

This play on words encapsulates my personal journey of seeking balance between the appreciation of the present moment and the allure of distant dreams.

Since the inception of MAiDENHAiR FERNWEH, I've chosen to embrace this paradox; I cherish where I am in my journey & what I am creating now, while eagerly anticipating the adventures, ideas, and creations that still lie ahead ♡!
