Blossoms are the first sign of the awakening of nature after a long hibernation and the start of a new cycle of life. Because of this blossoms and flowers are symbol of rebirth, beauty, love and death. Blossoms also transform into fruits and as so are a symbol for fertility and transformation. No wonder that all around the world blossoms, flowers and petals are used for rituals around the most basic aspects in our lives; life, death, love, passion, fertility, transformation and rebirth. In Bloom is an ode to all of these rituals. For me these multi colored petals and the seemingly random way they swirl through the air are also a symbol of the diversity of people in this city and the way they all choose their own path in life.
