A traditional U-shaped ceremonial garland is shown in careful detail against a pristine white backdrop, its segmented colours and textures described like a familiar ritual object. Each arm begins with a dense, vertical block of creamy white blossoms-soft, compact petals that could be small chrysanthemums or tightly formed carnations-capped with a tiny hint of dark green at the very top. Below these pale crowns the garland moves into a rich band of reddish-brown, closely packed and textural, suggesting layered dried petals or bud clusters that add an earthy, anchoring tone. From there the arms curve outward and downward into the dominant band of bright, golden yellow: fluffy, marigold-like pom-poms that form the main U and give the piece its festive, sunlit energy. At the center where the two arms meet a striking pendant hangs-an abundant orb of vivid orange ruffles, multi-layered and full, serving as the focal point that draws the gaze and conveys auspiciousness. Discreet green accents appear between colour blocks, like a tailor's seam, giving structure and contrast. The materials read as high-quality artificial silk and woven thread meant for longevity-ideal for repeated use at puja altars, festival doorways, or community events. I can imagine this garland welcoming neighbours to a Diwali gathering on a Kensington terrace or adorning a small shrine in a local community hall near Notting Hill Gate. The overall feeling is of ritual dignity and joyful welcome, crafted for celebration yet built to last.

A richly coloured artificial garland designed as a funeral tribute is displayed against a bright white background, its classic U-shape evoking the malas often placed with reverence at memorials and shrines throughout North Kensington. The upper sections are formed from abundant white petals, tightly layered so they appear soft, cushion-like, and almost luminous, suggesting innocence and peace. Near where the curve of the garland begins, narrow bursts of vivid green foliage appear between the blooms, adding a natural, garden-like freshness that brings to mind the quiet corners of Avondale Park. As the garland flows downward, the white segments transition into deep maroon-red petals, rich and sombre, expressing respect and the depth of farewell. These then blend into expansive bands of golden yellow petals that trace the lower arc, their gentle brightness offering a subtle sense of comfort and remembrance. Within the yellow, shorter accents of white re-emerge on either side of the centre, creating small islands of contrast that naturally draw the gaze to the focal point. Hanging from the very base is a prominent, spherical pendant constructed from countless orange petals, its vibrant hue and rounded fullness reminiscent of traditional marigold balls cherished in many cultural rites. The pendant looks dense and carefully shaped, as though each petal was placed by hand. The entire garland is meticulously crafted, with a plush, almost fabric-like texture, making it an elegant choice for honouring a loved one at a funeral, wake, or home altar anywhere in the North Kensington community. A U-shaped ceremonial garland hangs against a pure white studio backdrop, its handcrafted, artificial blooms arranged with the care of a traditional toran. At the very top of each arm a dense column of creamy white florets-soft, almost cloud-like-forms neat anchors for the design; these petals read as small chrysanthemums or clustered carnations, their satin-like finish catching the light with a gentle sheen. Below each creamy section a tightly packed band of deep reddish-brown follows, textured and layered like flattened petals or preserved foliage, giving the piece a grounded, earthen counterpoint to the pale tops. The curved arms sweep down into a broad, jubilant band of bright marigold-yellow: fluffy, pom-pom clusters that mimic genda phool and create the main visual U, warm and luminous against the white. At the lowest central point a generous pendant of ruffled orange blooms hangs as a focal jewel-voluminous, multi-layered and almost kinetic in its movement-drawing the eye to the heart of the garland. Small touches of vivid green sit at the junctions between color blocks, suggesting leaves or woven ribbon and adding crisp definition. The materials are clearly artificial-silk-like petals and durable thread-chosen for repeated use at puja altars, doorway decorations, weddings or Diwali doorways. In the quiet of a West London studio I imagine this piece welcoming guests along Golborne Road or brightening a small temple gathering in North Kensington; it carries the seasonality and ritual of celebration in colour and texture, a durable keepsake that reads as both homage and hospitality.
