Flowers have their own sex appeal. For centuries, they have served as powerful symbols in photography and painting, often embodying themes of sensuality and desire.
Few artists have explored the eroticism of flowers as profoundly as Georgia O’Keeffe, who remains a major inspiration for this project. Her large-scale, abstract representations of flowers and pistils transform petals and leaves into flowing formalist experiments.
Inspired by the formalist movement, I delved into the shapes, lines, and colors of flowers, exploring the sensuality inherent in their seemingly innocent beauty.
Indeed, flowers are complex symbols. While they can evoke seduction, they often carry deeper meanings; for instance, the lily is linked to the Virgin Mary, representing purity and refined beauty—an emblem of timeless innocence. And yet, it reproduces sexually. Ah, the irony!
