Spanish artist Ignacio Canales Aracil creates vessels reminiscent of upside-down baskets using nothing but pressed flowers. The art of flower pressing dates back thousands of years; pressed flowers were reportedly discovered in a 3,000-year-old coffin of Tutankhamun’s mother in Egypt, and both Greek and Roman botanists were known to preserve plants using techniques that continue today. But Aracil’s method is a bit different, relying on large cone-shaped molds into which carefully woven patches of hand-picked flower stems are placed. The pieces dry for up to a month without the aid of adhesives and are sprayed with a light varnish to protect the sculpture from moisture. The final pieces, which could be crushed with even the slightest weight, are rigid enough to stand without support. (h/t: thisiscolossal)

Vegetal artist Duy Anh Nhan Duc and photographer Isabelle Chapuis are the authors of two poetical series : “Etamine” and “Dandelion”. The first series of portraits focuses on a man dressed up and masked by carnations’, anemones’, iris’ and chrysanthemum’s petals. The second one pays tribute to dandelions through women’s portraits, full of finesse. The series was part of RAISE Magazine’s #16 Light Issue. (h/t: Fubiz )
