Amapolas
The “Amapola” (poppy flower) is a wild and delicate bloom. It has long been recognized as a symbol of peace, sleep, and death. It is a special flower that does not allow itself to be cut. It decays and falls apart quickly. The brilliant color and vibrancy it displays in the field do not last more than a few minutes in our hands. If we want to preserve it and make it last, it must be processed and worked in such a way that it does not spoil. The resulting, imperfect nature will be much more complete and elegant... and it will endure.
"Love and beauty are the two fundamental challenges of human existence, and it takes a lifetime to understand them.
Beauty repairs."
