This U-shaped artificial garland hangs simply and confidently against a white studio surface, its segments composing a narrative of ritual colour. The tops of each arm are built from compact clusters of creamy-white florets, plush and cloud-like, suggesting small chrysanthemums or tightly gathered carnations; they offer a cool, serene cap to the design. Beneath them the garland shifts into a concentrated strip of deep reddish-brown, the petals flattened and layered to provide texture and a visual pause that grounds the brighter bands. From there the arms sweep down into the principal curve: a broad, exuberant band of densely packed golden-yellow elements, purposefully arranged to emulate traditional marigold strings with their cheerful bulk and celebratory resonance. Intermittent touches of fresh-seeming green appear where sections meet, little leaf-like accents that tidy transitions and introduce a hint of botanical realism. Suspended where the two yellow curves meet, a generous orange pendant blossoms - a layered, ruffled cluster that reads like a marigold magnified, radiating warmth and serving as a focal emblem of welcome. The materials are synthetic but crafted to hold shape and colour over time; the lighting reveals gentle shadows within the folds, making each layer legible. In Somers Town this kind of toran is commonly used above doorways, at small altars near St Pancras Old Church, or as a decorative welcome for family ceremonies on Chalton Street and around King's Cross. It carries an ambiguous mood of celebration and reverence - bright, durable, and ready for festivals, puja, or wedding entrances without the fleeting nature of fresh blooms.

A ceremonial artificial mala for funeral tribute is displayed against a pure white background, its U-shaped form poised as if ready to be offered in quiet respect. The top of the garland is built from thick clusters of milky white petals, soft and cloud-like, symbolising purity and peace. Delicate fragments of bright green foliage peek between these white blooms, giving a lifelike freshness, much like the leafy corners around Somers Town's community spaces. As the garland flows down each side, the colour transitions into deep maroon petal sections, richly shaded with a subtle reddish-brown tone that adds depth and a sense of solemnity, suitable for mourning and remembrance. These maroon segments then open into broad sweeps of sunny yellow petals along the lower curve, their warm glow suggesting hope and gentle comfort in the midst of loss. Just before the eye reaches the pendant, purposeful patches of white petals reappear within the yellow on both sides, creating a soft visual break and a feeling of pause, as though holding a moment of silence. Suspended from the centre of the base is a striking, spherical pendant composed entirely of densely layered orange petal clusters, full and rounded like a marigold pom, often seen in Hindu and South Asian funerals as a sign of reverence and spiritual light. Every part of the garland is carefully constructed, each artificial petal placed to give a lush, textured appearance that closely mimics freshly strung flowers. With its harmonious blend of white, green, maroon, yellow, and glowing orange, this mala would be at home in temple-style services, memorial gatherings, or farewell rituals across Somers Town and nearby Camden, offering a dignified, culturally meaningful expression of sympathy and devotion. Suspended against a stark white studio background, this U-shaped decorative garland reads like a compact celebration: densely clustered artificial blossoms threaded into a traditional toran form. At the very top of each upright arm, delicate creamy-white pom-pom clusters imitate small chrysanthemums or carnations, their soft, pillowy texture catching the light with a satin sheen. Below them the design shifts into a deep, reddish-brown band - flattened, layered petals with a dry, leathery look that suggest either dyed fabric or faux dried leaves, adding visual weight and a grounding, earthy counterpoint. The arms curve inward and bloom into a wide, luminous band of golden-yellow clusters, densely packed to echo the familiar fluff of marigolds (genda), their bright hue speaking of auspiciousness and festival doorways. Small accents of vivid, almost chartreuse green appear where the color segments meet, hinting at tiny leaves or ribbon ties that neatly separate each block of colour. At the garland's meeting point hangs a generous pendant: a round, multi-layered cluster of ruffled orange petals that becomes the visual focal point, bursting outward with the same citrus warmth as fresh marigolds. The materials are clearly artificial - durable fibres and tightly threaded cores intended for repeated use - yet the overall impression is tactile, light-reflective and inviting to the touch. The piece reads as both devotional and decorative: suitable for a Somers Town home altar, a doorway near St Pancras, or a celebration on Chalton Street, it carries the quiet ceremony of Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, wedding welcomes or everyday devotion without the fragility of fresh blooms.
