Reflections of a flower / Mimesis du Désir is an ongoing research project that engages with the idea that flowers are earthly reflections of celestial bodies. Inspired by the book The Life of Plants, from philosopher Emanuele Coccia, this project explores the visual and conceptual resemblance of flowers and stars, echoing their singular relationship, one mediated by light.

The cast bronze forms are made from 3D scans of dandelions and a poppy flower. They were translated into 3D prints and subsequently cast in bronze. Inspired by orbital trajectories, tendril lines (slender threadlike appendages of climbing plants) and particle trajectories, the steel rods are intertwined with the bronze flowers, balancing each other in equilibrium on the floor.
