Artwork Description: A sculpture that captures the essence of feminine beauty and grace in an innovative and captivating way. The piece features a strikingly elongated neck, lending an otherworldly air to the sculpture and a vibrant red swimsuit that hugs the contours of the female form. A mesmerising moonstone crystal is found in the flower’s centre. The use of moonstone crystal serves to symbolise the transcendental beauty of nature and its intrinsic connection to the female form. The absence of arms and the cut off at the feet create a sense of antiquity and motion, as if the figure is emerging from the depths of the earth, as a natural phenomenon rather than a sculpted object. ‘flower girl’ attempts to embody the union of human and nature, the sacred and the profane, and the feminine power and beauty that lies at the core of our collective consciousness, evoking an array of emotions and contemplation.
