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.
The Poppies, which have completed their 25 editions in the original 1:1 format, are now reissued in a large format, offering a new immersion into the delicacy and complexity of the crafted flowers as an experience of light, color, matter, space, and time.

“You don't have to tell the truth. Never. Never. Not to loved ones. They must always be treated with the brightest colors. Take them out favored. Make them believe what they are not. "

“Rest assured that nothing and no one will separate us, and while life encourages me, and even later, we will be united by all those on earth who know what it is to love, and cry, and hate, and enjoy, and grieve, and fight and, in short, to feel the happiest, luckiest, bravest, lonely and cowardly among born and unborn men.
