I Got Lost in the Botanical Gardens
Site specific installation, video
Made out of more than 1000 flower petals attached to silicon suction cups, this installation explores themes of loss, temporality, and the preservation of nature. Carefully crafted by hand, each piece of flower is glued to a suction cup which is then preserved in a vacuum. This is a reflection on the fragility of the natural world and the impact of human activity on the environment, as well as on global trade and mass production.
The video offers a glance on the process of preparing the installation and handling the flowers along with a reading of a poem written by the artist.
