The poppy signifies several things to different people across cultures. Peace, love, loss, success, remembrance, recovery...even restful sleep.
As a metaphor for life and death and everything that comes in between, the poppy as a symbol was the ideal motif to start my play with colour, form and abstraction.
Flawed yet beautiful, the artwork is a tribute to the magic of nature, akin to all the tiny imperfect details that shape a blossom.
A reminder that even from a broken petal, a blemished leaf or a stem slightly bent, can still emerge an extraordinary flower.
