About the art

A poetic dialogue between botanical and photograph cyanotype works, as a memory of walks in nature.
A synaesthetic narrative in which the invitation is to rediscover the measure of time,
of waiting, of the now, mirage of the frenetic contemporary world.
Reflecting on what is present takes on a symbolic value, and that is what
Florilegio wants to try to tell us.
Bloom is result - a tribute to a poem by Emily Dickinson - is an invitation to "blooming", to observe the poetic everyday life with amazement and wonder.
