The Flower of Life

The White Lily, to celebrate family.
Purity, innocence, devotion, family.
 
This work is dedicated to the white lily, one of the most iconic flowers in Western tradition. Already in the ancient Mediterranean world it symbolized purity, regeneration, and renewal; in Christian tradition it later became the sacred flower of the Annunciation, offered by the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, and therefore linked to the idea of motherhood, care, and life. In the history of art, the lily thus travels across the centuries as an image of birth, belonging, and protection.
 
In this reinterpretation, the lily therefore also speaks of roots and family. It is the place one comes from, or the one one chooses to return to. The nymph who embodies it preserves precisely this quality: a silent but central presence, able to sustain, welcome, and hold things together.
