Plants make flowers to reproduce. Humans make plants for their flowers. The domestication of plant species is not only about food. In the search for beauty, for millennia, specimens have been artificially selected for the quality of their blooms.

Today the toy brand LEGO produces plastic flowers. To underline the absurdity of this evolution, the artist reproduces these plastic flowers in bronze, by the traditional lost-wax process — here, lost Lego.

Hybrid, absurd and magnificent all at once, these sculptures call into question the categories of the natural and the artificial, which we thought self-evident.
