" I've always been fascinated by flowers, and trust we must look at them from the bottom to the head carefully, flowers once they are put into a bouquet can hide some interesting details. That way I wanted to create an object to highlight those details. Using the optical lens, the colors, the forms and the details of the flowers can be revealed, while creating a visual movement. The lens is at the level of the flowers, fixed on a base and in a rather simple shape so that we can concentrate on the optical effect".
