Another Botanica is a botanical atlas in a series of works devoted to the observation and study of senses, to the feeling the world and embodied in the images of flowers. Flowers are fragile and short-lived, they bloom and fade, depend on many factors, they are the same as us.
Les Fleurs du Mal - is a collection is dedicated to the theme of narcissism and the spectrum of cruel, evil and destructive feelings experienced by a person suffering from this personality disorder.
Each composition is a metaphor of a personality with its unique entity, characteristic features, algorithms of actions, dependencies and defenses.
It is commonly believed that narcissists are people without a soul, with an inflated ego, loving only themselves, destroying their own live and the lives of those with whom chance and fate brought them together.
They are different and it is not their fault. Nature, circumstances and environment created them like this, they seem to be from another planet, where love and empathy don't exist, where the difference between good and evil, life and death are unknown. A predator, after meeting with whom your life will never be the same.
Have you ever wondered what made them like that? Why did nature or chance treat them so cruelly, depriving them of the happiness to be themselves, enjoy of life, to be with those they love and who loves them. The answer is simple and cruel - love, sick love, which was a lot, or was not at all.
Their eternal companions: loneliness, longing and eternal hunger, an inner emptiness like a black hole that cannot be filled, envy and devouring shame, fear of being exposed in their insignificance, complexes and defenses, light confused with shadow, unbearable pain and despair - this is the price they pay for every moment of their existence.
In the era of social media, the topic of narcissism has become more than relevant, our time cultivates unhealthy self-love, life for show, being who you are not.
Les Fleurs du Mal are not ordinary plants. It is impossible to touch them and inhale their fragrance, these are poisonous flowers. Toxic beauty, which can only delight the eye, at a distance.
