Independent Flowers of the Synthetarium
In this still life, the boundary between the living and the artificial disappears. These flowers, grown not from soil but from imagination, do not obey the laws of nature.
Their independence does not lie in freedom from humans, but in their refusal to be part of the organic world. They emerge as symbols of a new environment—the synthetarium—where life is simulated so convincingly that we can no longer distinguish imitation from reality. Here, a flower does not represent nature—it becomes a new truth, an autonomous entity that knows neither loss nor aging.
They also reflect the human habit of keeping plastic flowers at home—flowers that have no scent and no energy, yet become part of our spaces. Why do people do this? Because they will not see evidences of aging and no need to give their care for maintenance?
