A little yellow marigold, after losing its graceful petals began to drop its "teeth". The discontinuity of its seeds in line with the degradation state of the structure itself was sufficient reason to do this capture. This work is part of a set of flowers / dried plants that show us surprising forms that were evident in the exhibition carried out at Hospital de Santiago in Setúbal last year. The title given to the exhibition "After ... before ..." translates me by what we understand: the plants "After the ..." their verdant beauty present new beauties "Before ..." they lose their forms. The process was from this idea to look in the fields and gardens flowers at their end of life, interpreting their forms that the light was drawing. The project has no mentor who knows and continues to develop.
