Task of the day
#096: How do
you see your flowers? (Remember they are self-standing). Today,
you will make a web collection of your blue flowers, the ones you made
yesterday. Show and
tell us all about them! Share your vision with us. Take a
screenshot of your collection and share it with us. And also, give us the link
to it!

Eternal Love
"Eternal Love" is a representation of everlasting love.
The beautiful and gentle side of love, but also the hard and painful side and the changes thereof over time.
Materials: wire, stone, paper, string, pearl, glass, paint.
Before Design 1o1 I never
worked with wire and stones. For this final assignment I choose these materials because
I wanted to use materials I also used during Design 1o1. I enjoyed Week 11 ‘Telling Stories’ very much so the used materials of this week were definitely my first choice.
In each
part of the work you see changes in the parameter ‘material’. By changing this parameter the expression of the love flower changes and the story that is told evolves in time.
Flower
1: Eternal Tears in Blue
No
particular kind of flower because beauty (literally and figuratively) is in the eye of the beholder.
The flower is made of a pearl, representing a
tear and eternity.
The pearl is wrapped with blue, delicate paper representing the
softness but also delicacy of love.
The flower is also made up of iron wire
with spikes/torns for love can be
hard and painful.
Flower
2: Heavens Boulder
A stone, painted in heavens blue and wrapped in wire.
The stone
represents lost loves.
They can be in heaven but also far far away.
In any
case, a distance out of physical reach.
The wire
represents sunshine and radiant air waves.
At the
left top side, the wire is double folded representing the binding with heaven
or any particular place. A place where
someone is forced attached to, can’t leave, or even a deliberately chosen place.
On the
right bottom side, the wire is cut open and a piece is laying on the base of
the flower, representing (trying) to make
contact from a distance.
Flower 3: Indestructable connectedness
A forget
me not, made out of transparent
glass because of its hardness but also fragility.
The shine of the beads symbolizes the beautiful side of love again.
The spikes of the wire are the painful side
that love (at distance) can bring.
The
whole can be supplemented with two heart-shaped flowers.
A small heart shaped flower representing, again, the hard and painful side of love.
And a larger heart shaped flower.
The wire of the large flower is laced with a soft and glossy light blue string.
A small heart shaped flower representing, again, the hard and painful side of love.
And a larger heart shaped flower.
The wire of the large flower is laced with a soft and glossy light blue string.
This string symbolizes the beautiful soft side of love which prevails in the core of this heart-shaped flower.
The double strand string is hooked by hand (without hook). This is the importance shown by direct, face-to-face contact and the possibility to touch each other in contrast to remote contact through any medium whatsoever.
The thread is broken in several places and is tied together... If you really care about someone or love someone, you'll meet again.
It rises above the rest because true love conquers all and is eternal.
