What a journey it has been again, a mosaic of challenges and triumphs, painted with the delicate beauty of flowers. Flowers became more than just decorations; they became my resilience, my hope, and my transformation. Each project I created carried a piece of my story, a reflection of my emotions, and an invitation for others to join me in these intimate worlds of art. I'm going back here to the beginning of 2024, to show you the most beautiful and strong projects I had. I'm Anna, making fine-art, creative photo shoots, workshops, and photography tours available for everyone.
Bathing in Love - The Flower Bathtub Project
Last year began with an unexpected and life-altering event—a car accident as a pedestrian on a zebra crossing. Hit by a car speeding at 60 km/h, I was left with scars, both visible and invisible. Yet, love became my refuge. My family and closest friends wrapped me in their warmth, helping me heal both physically and emotionally.
This love inspired the Flower Bathtub Project. I filled a bathtub with 300 fresh gerberas, symbolizing the nurturing care I received. For three weeks, this setup remained vibrant, evolving as I replaced faded blooms with fresh ones. Just like the flowers, my perspective changed, and a new outlook on life blossomed. This project taught me to appreciate fleeting beauty and to cherish every moment.
The Flower Boat - Bloom Amidst Darkness
The Flower Boat Project was born from a place of reflection. Surrounded by the dark waters and the tangled shadows of overhanging branches, the boat was a sanctuary of blooms. The contrast was intentional: it symbolized resilience in the face of
overwhelming darkness.
Life, much like those murky waters, can feel suffocating, but we can still bloom. The flowers on the boat became a metaphor for inner strength, reminding me and everyone who joined this project that light can grow even in the most shadowed corners.
The Decorated Piano in an Abandoned Greenhouse - Your Inner Song
In an old greenhouse, forgotten by time but alive with untamed nature, stood a piano. A symbol of music and inner harmony. This Piano Project was about finding your way through chaos. Music has the power to guide us, even when we feel lost in
the overgrown wilderness of our minds.
Surrounded by hundreds of roses, wildflowers, and glowing candles, this setup became a sanctuary. The greenhouse, with its cracked glass and moss-covered floors, reflected my creative spirit—a place where beauty emerges through imperfection. It felt like a song of hope, played on petals and keys.
Mirrored Hydrangeas - Reflections of Self-Love
The Mirrored Hydrangeas Project was deeply personal. It was about looking into your reflection and seeing more than just an image. The hydrangeas, with their rich colors and full blooms, surrounded the mirrors like an embrace.
This project was my path into self-love, an acknowledgment that our worth goes beyond what is seen in the glass. Beauty isn’t just what is reflected; it radiates outward, touching everything around us. The mirrors became gateways, showing not only our physical selves but the light we carry within.
The Flower Door - Walking Through Shadows
The Flower Door Project was the final chapter of my year. A door, adorned with flowers, stood as a symbol of transition and of walking out of darkness and into light. Behind it, shadows lingered, but they could no longer hold me back.
This project represented overcoming depression, fear, and doubt. It was about opening the door, stepping forward, and leaving the shadows behind while carrying the beauty of flowers with me into whatever comes next.
Art Gave Me a Voice
So last year was not just a year of creative projects; it was a time of healing, rediscovery, and growth. Every flower I arranged, every setup I built, carried a piece of my story. Through these creations, I shared my pain, my joy, and my resilience.
Art gives me a voice when words feel too heavy, and flowers have become my language. I hope these projects bring inspiration, reflection, and a sense of connection to everyone who joins me.
Here’s to more blooming moments, more stories told through petals, and more beauty discovered in unexpected places.
With love,
Anna Psy
