Crafted from soft, hand-sewn fabric and airbrushed in a spectrum of deep blues, warm oranges, and lush greens, Prickly Pear Family Soft Sculpture Study redefines the traditional cactus as something approachable and even huggable. By using fabric instead of traditional sculptural materials, Noelle softens the often harsh, defensive form of the cactus, transforming it into a symbol of welcoming resilience. Prickly Pear Family Soft Sculpture Study is a celebration of both the cactus’s quiet strength and Noelle’s playful reimagination of nature, bridging the gap between art, nature, and human connection.
