Holding real dried seeds, seed pods, forest mushrooms and textured leaves in a deep frame behind glass, Nature's Cabinet is a three-dimensional specimen shadow box.
Each element sits at a different depth, and everything inside is real natural material. Assembled by hand, the box comes in three collections, each in its own frame tone.
Hang the box on a wall as a natural specimen display.
The way certain art and decor elements are visually arranged draws us in by decreasing threat monitoring in the vHPC and BLA circuit, responsible for spatial safety evaluation (Silva & Girardeau, 2026). Designs that feel safe, like those with soft shapes and deep layers, are comforting because they reduce brain activity and help us feel more secure in our surroundings, (Silva & Girardeau, 2026; Kong et al., 2021). “Refuge” qualities such as curved silhouettes, inward contours, and layered depth read as sheltered because they decrease BLA activation and stabilize spatial encoding in the vHPC (Kong et al., 2021). Together, these elements foster a peaceful, subdued visual experience, which may explain the human inclination toward objects that offer both openness and a sense of enclosure.
