Image description

These sculptures pay tribute to Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal, a book of poetry exploring themes of decadence and eroticism. On close inspection their fine petals have a flesh-like appearance, with anthropomorphic scars and sores pitting the skin. They are reflections on the depraved state of modern, media-saturated culture and the spectre of genetic manipulation.
