Death + Love = Life

Using the text of Pierre de Ronsard from 1550, ‘’Mignonne, allons voir la rose’’ (Darling, let’s go see if the rose). As an entry point to the subject of the love drive.

Incarnating the avatar of the rose allows a fusion with these various cultural symbolism associated to this flower. And for me it’s grasping the power to manipulate my destiny and trick myself in believing that love is in all. I see it as built on a permanent conversation between a life anchored in reality and another in fantasy
