If I were a flower..I would be a sunflower.
Pam Stewart
My penfriends have been showering me with sunny blooms and sending beautiful reminders to “face the sun,” so my sunflower wall is growing beautifully wild. I’ll have to share an updated photo soon. Until then, I’ll continue to share the individual postcards on the blog.
About a week ago, I received a postcard from Geraldine (Nannydino on swap-bot) that offers a unique interpretation on the sunflower theme. Instead of growing in a field or sitting in a vase, the sunflowers appear to be growing out of a human.
“Sunflower Humans” by Priyanka Parul
Pretty interesting. Right?
“Sunflower Humans” is the work of Priyanka Parul, a young artist from Mumbai, India. I love how the human face is replaced with or masked by sunflowers. Are they human? Are the sunflowers a gift? Symbolic of a sunny disposition? A reminder to “radiate sunshine” from the inside out? I’d love to know what Priyanka was thinking when she conceived this piece.
In my search for information on the piece, I ran across a post written in 2016, “Are You a Human or a Sunflower.” There are some conceptual similarities, so I wonder if the artist was inspired by the post.
I hope you have your shades nearby. You’ll need them for our final week of sunflower posts for the year.
May you have a week filled with sunshine and good things.
I love the sunflower humans!!!
