This chess set is inspired by the invasive Rumex cyprius (Yellow Dock) plant. Its cold-bloodedness, strategic nature, dominance, and striking stature were pivotal in shaping the design. Every aspect of the chess set reimagining was guided by the unique characteristics of Yellow Dock. The moss growing between the squares of the chessboard symbolizes the resilience of invasive plants, capable of thriving even in the harshest conditions, like cracks in concrete.
