I learned about a small village at the end of the Silk Road in Nepal named Broq-pa. In Broq-pa, the symbolic meaning of flowers is extraordinary. In the Nepalese culture, flowers symbolize love, happiness, and appreciation for God. 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 this ephemeral medium, the flower, can carry a piece of happiness into people’s lives.
