Ross utilizes the medium of collage to bridge the gap between botanical study and dreamscape. By arranging diverse mushroom varieties into a dense, vertical composition, she highlights the intricate textures and hidden geometries of the natural world. The use of anatomical cross-sections invites the viewer to look beneath the surface, revealing a vibrant color palette that pulses with a strange, internal life.

This work leans into the surrealist tradition of displacing familiar objects to spark the imagination. Here, food becomes a portal to an enchanting world, suggesting a stillness that is both grounded in environmental conservation and lifted by mythological undertones. The arrangement creates a sense of unity in diversity, where every cap and gill contributes to a cohesive, enigmatic beauty.
