About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Space Decoration

This work is inspired by the love story behind the portrait "Marthe de Florian", a work by Giovanni Bellini. The rose-colored arrangement represents her as an actress who lived in Paris during the glamorous pre-war era. The rose represents love. The blue one, on the other hand, represents the strength of a woman wandering through the whirlpool of war, but never despairing and praying for the dawn. The two large curved flowers represent the path to be taken, and the dried blue plant is called the "traveler's tree" and symbolizes the changing times.
