Flower. I created this Flower sculpture using antique metal objects, some of which date back to the middle of the 20th century. My work covers a wide variety of subjects, and the shapes of previously used household objects often suggest the characters that emerge from my imagination.
This time, several old objects came together to form a flower. I wanted it to have the appearance of something from the past, carrying a sense of timeless beauty. To me, this flower symbolises beauty as something eternal – something that does not lose its charm with the passing of time.
The flower stem combines part of a bronze candlestick with a brass fitting from a shower hose. The leaves were made from a used copper flower vessel, while a brass door handle became the bud. For the blossom, I brought together a ceramic chandelier component and part of a clock. The flower grows from an old bronze apothecary mortar, which serves as its pot.
This Flower sculpture gives antique found objects a new artistic life, transforming them into a symbol of beauty and timelessness.
