“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. "

The poppy is a wild and delicate flower. It has been used for a long time as a symbol of peace, sleep and death. It is a special flower. It does not allow to be cut, it decomposes and falls apart quickly. The brilliant color and vibrancy that it presents in the field does not last even a few minutes in our hands. If we want to keep it, to make it remain, it will be necessary to elaborate it, work it in such a way that it does not spoil. The resulting, imperfect, nature will be much more complete and elegant… and will remain.
Love and beauty are the two fundamental challenges of the human being and it takes a lifetime to understand them.
Beauty repairs.
