About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue 空間裝飾

呢件作品嘅靈感源自畫作《瑪特・德・弗洛里安》背後嘅愛情故事，呢幅係喬瓦尼・貝利尼嘅作品。玫瑰色嘅花藝設計代表佢作為一位女演員，喺戰前輝煌年代生活喺巴黎。玫瑰象徵住愛情。至於藍色嗰束，就代表一位女性喺戰爭漩渦中飄泊，卻從不絕望、祈盼曙光嘅堅韌力量。兩朵大型嘅曲線花卉代表要行嘅路，而乾燥嘅藍色植物名為「旅人蕉」，象徵住不斷變遷嘅時代。

Research: Researched Italian Impressionism through website and came across the painting of Giovanni Bellini. Impressed by the story behind the art
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".
