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. The Hortus Floridus, which in Latin means “flower garden”, is dedicated to Marcin’s mother and sister, who continue the family’s flower-growing traditions. The selection of popular and decorative flowers such as peonies, carnations, hydrangeas, daylilies, tulips, delphiniums, poppies, gerberas or buttercups donated by the family flower shop recalls the bright colours and sophisticated richness of bouquets arranged by Marcin’s sister.
