The Vas Florum series reinterprets the concept of the vessel and its relationship with flowers and their display. In each artwork, specially sourced flowers are embedded in the body of the form itself. Conceived as ‘time capsules’, each sculpture contains botanicals that resonate with individual and collective memories. Scientista Furiosus refers to Marcin’s grandfather, a self-made botanicist whose story remains a sensitive subject within the family. The partially burned botanic matter refers to Marcin’s blurred memories of his persona. Contrasted with partially burned large green leaves and structural, grassy and tusk-shaped elements, white and purple orchids come to the forefront of this composition, underlining the importance of this species to Marcin’s artistic background.
