This project draws inspiration from water lily petals (Lumme), and expresses the character of the Nymphaea plant- its scientific name referencing a sacred space in nature, dedicated to nymphs to worship a natural monument such as a tree or a rock. By placing this flower in a domestic setting on the white walls of interiors, I seek for both a harmony and contrast between our standardised domestic spaces, and the nature of this mythological plant I always encountered in summertime blooming by the lake of my family cottage in central Finland.
