·  Cut Flowers  ·

A Painting of wild flowers in a beautiful blue vase.

Flowers bring joy because of their beauty of shape, colour, texture, and scent. I have not bought cut flowers for many years.

When I wish to give flowers as a gesture of my love, I create an artwork and give this. Although my efforts only touch on the experience of giving and receiving cut flowers, it is my modest effort to reduce the exploitation of one life for the sole pleasure and comfort of another. Flowers are best when left to live, and for me, their sacrifice must always be mindful. 

The artwork and poetic text is available at Encyclopedia Utopia.
