The symbolism of flowers has been present in art for centuries. Shakespeare used flowers to convey different emotions in his work, and painters used flowers to convey messages about the subjects in their paintings. Botanics has also played an important role in religious art and rituals, and the meaning of the flower often varies from one religion to another.

With this series I wanted to explore the different symbols each flower represents, and how people, in this case a little girl, interacts with them. I made all the costumes myself, and each dress compliments a specific flower. I painted the «flower dust» with gouache paint, scanned the painting and added it digitally to the image in Photoshop.
