About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Ruimteversiering

Hierdie werk is geïnspireer deur die liefdesverhaal agter die portret "Marthe de Florian", 'n werk deur Giovanni Bellini. Die roos-gekleurde rangskikking stel haar voor as 'n aktrise wat gedurende die glansryke voor-oorlogse era in Parys gewoon het. Die roos verteenwoordig liefde. Die blou een, aan die ander kant, verteenwoordig die krag van 'n vrou wat deur die maalkolk van oorlog dwaal, maar nooit wanhopig word nie en vir die dagbreek bid. Die twee groot geboë blomme verteenwoordig die pad wat gevolg moet word, en die gedroogde blou plant word die "reisiger se boom" genoem en simboliseer die veranderende tye.

Inspiration
The inspiration for this art work, consisting of two pieces, comes from the story behind the painting, "Portrait of Marthe de Florian" by Italian painter Giovanni Boldini. The painting had been sleeping for 70 years until it was discovered at Florian's apartment in Paris. This work is an homage to the beautiful memories of Giovanni and his lover Florian. "La Memoire De La Rose " (left) depicts the story of her elegant life in Paris. "La Voyage Bleu" (right) is the image of her life after the war. She lived with dignity.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2016 in Tokyo and was exhibited in Flower Art Award In Tokyo Midtown in April 2017
Operation Flow
Display Tips: 1.Overall coloration may fade overtime, therefore avoidance of the direct sun light is advisable.
2. You can arrange them side by side as shown in the photo. Depending on the space available, you may place them apart from each other. It might be interesting to display it with each facing away from the other, back to back in a place like a museum where the audience flow can be dictated. Such flow must allow viewing "La Memoire De La Rose" first , followed by "La Voyage de Bleu".
