Flowers and Nature
My “Nature’s Smiles” collection is based on the universal language of flowers.
Each bloom has a microcosm of life within or around it. Therefore many other creatures rely on each flower. Very much like a human community where people rely on each other. Then there is the different stages of the bloom. From unfurling its petals to the gradual disembodiment of the petals as it withers and dies, which then gives birth to seeds which perpetuate the species.
So all in all, we live with flowers our whole lives, from the bunches on our dining room tables to the ones growing in our gardens to the peppering of colourful blooms in parks and on our daily walks. They are all remarkable and beautiful and necessary for our wellbeing. There are ones reared in hothouses and even the simple wild ones in the meadows, always there bridging gaps in our emotional and spiritual lives, in prayers, smiling with laughter, celebrating our complex lives with sprinkles of happiness.
