Flowers

Some subjects span the centuries without ever losing their evocative power. The flower is one of them.

Celebrated for its beauty, it is also a language, a symbol, a material and an endless source of inspiration. Fragile yet universal, it accompanies the great narratives of art, runs through the history of fashion and feeds the imagination of creators.

This issue brings together artists, artisans, photographers and designers who, each in their own way, reshape how we see the botanical world.

Here, the flower is never merely a decorative motif: it becomes gesture, memory, material, light or narrative.

Through these perspectives, the flower ceases to be a subject. It becomes a way of thinking about creation: a presence that connects nature to the hand, time to memory, craft to art, clothing to the body and images to emotion.

Because we never look at a flower simply for what it is, but for everything it evokes.
