PHASMIDA comes from the Greek φάσμα “phasma”, meaning phantom or apparition and describes the momentary visibility of the unseen.

Phasmida or Phasmatodea are an order of insects, commonly known as stick insects or walking sticks.

PHASMIDA draws inspiration from both phasma and Phasmatodea, linking the supernatural vision of the former with the arboreal form of the later in a highly versatile branching pendant.
