Flora Arcana
Flora is the name given to the Roman goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility. The fact that we find other earlier deities with similar characteristics (such as the nymph Chlorine from Greek mythology) only demonstrates humans' timeless fascination with the exuberance and variety of flowers.
Arcana, feminine singular of arcane, from the Latin arcanus.
It means something secret, obscure, mysterious, known only to a small number of people
Flowers have their own language and communicate with each other in a dimension inaccessible to humans.
I believe that there was once a common language that allowed all living beings to communicate with each other, but humans forgot that language, just as we forgot almost everything that connected us to the natural world.
We wanted to create our own world, with our own rules, in a vain attempt to surpass the genius of nature.
Flowers are sources of life, pregnant with seeds that spread far beyond their place of flowering. We have long lost our connection to this fertilizing capacity.
My desire to rebuild it was the guiding light of this work.
Each of these images attempts to break down this barrier and reestablish the lost link between us.
