About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Función principal: Decoración de espazos

Texto do libro: Esta obra está inspirada na historia de amor que hai detrás do retrato "Marthe de Florian", unha obra de Giovanni Bellini. O arranxo de cor rosa represéntaa como unha actriz que viviu en París durante a glamurosa época de anteguerra. A rosa representa o amor. A azul, pola contra, representa a forza dunha muller que deambula polo remuíño da guerra, pero que nunca desespera e reza pola alba. As dúas grandes flores curvas representan o camiño que hai que percorrer, e a planta azul seca chámase a "árbore do viaxeiro" e simboliza os tempos cambiantes.

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".
