I'd never heard of a flower requiem either until I came across the incredible work of artist, Michelle Forsyth. She creates wall art installations out of hand cut pieces of paper attached to dressmakers pins tacked to the wall. From afar, they reveal an image of flowers.
But not just any image. They are replicas of photos she has taken from disaster sites years after the event occurred. Some flowers were placed there by mourners to mark loss; some have naturally grown out of the ruins. A flower requiem is Michelle's way of "healing the scars of each disastrous event".
Such a beautiful concept, don't you think?
