Broq-pa’s women are committed to growing flowers in their garden and decorating their hair with flowers every day. I wanted to incorporate this traditional symbolism from Broq-pa into my work and my own life. I believe that this ephemeral medium, the flower, can carry a piece of happiness into people’s lives. After moving to Texas, one of the first things I did was go out and collect some of the state's wildflowers. This project is a great way to celebrate the beauty of Texas and raise awareness about the importance of preserving its natural treasures.
