Irthi x Patricia Swannell Safeefah x Japanese Grass Design Labs Collection In parallel, Patricia Swannell sought out three of the UAE’s native tree species that play a significant role in its environment, culture and economy. Swannell is known for her unique style that merges naturalist illustrations with art. She created three intricate graphite drawings portraying a Ghaf tree, a Sidr tree and a palm tree. Using repetition of each tree’s common name, Latin name, location and date, Swannell creates an outline of the trees’ cross sections. At the centre of each drawing is a seed, representing both the starting point of the tree and its future.
