late summer, a gesture

Mia’s ongoing bloom series hybridize time, technology, and nature; botanicals take on new meaning as surreal stretching shapes bloom upward to reveal a DNA-like helix structure, inviting the audience to contemplate how species morph, change, survive, and thrive over time. Through the use of expanded time and digital techniques, her botanical arrangements are a tribute to the ephemera; re-imagining and immortalising them for the digital-age. -- late summer blooms; delphinium, dahlia, blue lotus, and chrysanthemum, assembled in a Bianca Pintan ceramic vessel
