Floral Connection

Abducted by the beauty of plants my interest is captivated further by the symbolism, healing purposes and spirituality of these natural living organisms. exploring the connections between these plants, my own life, relationships and experiences is the focus of these works.

Les Lys Roses

Deep pink Liliums draw the eye to the sweet femineity of this piece. They orchestrate fluid focal points around the heart, inviting the eye to absorb all the fine elements in between each Lilium. The industrial grey somewhat blue hues of the backdrop coupled with the Monstera leaves occupying the surroundings lend a masculine hand.

This represents the perfect embodiment of a loving healthy relationship. Each plant or flower represents important elements to create a harmonious matrimony. Geranium symbolises emotional balance and harmony, Liliums is the bold feminine element that bounds the piece together with compassion, empathy and fertility. The Monstera takes on the role of protection, prosperity and abundance and lastly the Othonna Capensis Succulents, represent eternal relationships, longevity, perseverance.

Forget us, Not.

A dark romanticized piece symbolising lust, obsession. Featuring Syringa vulgaris whom owes its name to Syrinx a beautiful woodland nymph in Greek mythology. The story is a dark tale of lust.

The God Pans caught a glance of the radiant beauty of syrinx. He started out on an unquestionable journey to peruse her. The feelings were not reciprocated and Syrinx fled to avoid Pans advances. Fleeing she went to the extremes of metamorphosing into a Lilac bush. Nonetheless she still seized to escape the grasp of Pans. Upon seeing the Lilac bush he severed the stems and forged Panpipes with the hollow stems of the Lilac.

The tiny blue forget me nots fill the space in-between the Lilacs. Forget us not, those who are victims of violence, rape and domestic abuse. Due to those who do not understand the difference between love and lust, ownership vs relationship. At which point does lust turn to obsession then obsession to hatred and menace. Sex with no compassion or empathy is just a hollow hole, a panpipe. You have not taken from us only from your own soul which is damaged, it will rot like a decaying boutique of lilacs and forget me nots.
