The Male
Text
The peace lily plant symbolizes innocence and rebirth of the departed’s soul from the complex physical world to a greater place. For this reason, but also for her amazing shape, colorant textures, It will be my min inspiration for my final garment for this project.

I would like to create an background inspired by this picture, an artwork created by two amazing French artist, that decided to create me a proper universe and an put me in it. They created the background inspired by my personality and used for it lot of feminine colors. This artwork is showing an idea of what a pure and young young girl looks like.
But what's exactly femininity. While the defining characteristics of femininity are not universally identical, some patterns exist: gentleness, empathy, sensitivity, caring, sweetness, compassion, tolerance, nurturance, deference, and succorance are traits that have traditionally been cited as feminine.
Femininity is sometimes linked with sexual objectification and sexual appeal. Sexual passiveness, or sexual receptivity, is sometimes considered feminine while sexual assertiveness and sexual desire is sometimes considered masculine.
Flowers are one of the main symbols of femininity and women. I would like to change that belief and play with the traits in plants and flowers that are masculine and hard, but still keep that feminine touch in the color and some times the shapes. My goal is to unite the to genders and create diverse hermaphrodic creatures, having no gender at all and at the same time all of them.

After rethinking about each single project I did , I feel that I am the most drawn to the gender one. I am massively inspired by that theme that is so vast and so rich. I really want to rework it as a solo project, even if I had an amazing time last week working with my group. But I really need to give my own vision of it. And to do it, I will be only using flowers.
Among all living organisms, flowers, which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms (The term comes from the Greek words angeion ("case" or "casing") and sperma ("seed") ), are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity in methods of reproduction. but the one thing that made me think of the flowers as an main inspiration to rework his project is because most of them are Andromonoecious : having both bisexual and male flowers on the same plant. A "perfect" flower has both stamens and carpels, and may be described as "bisexual" or "hermaphroditic". A "unisexual" flower is one in which either the stamens or the carpels are missing, vestigial or otherwise non-functional.
Inspired from the hermaphroditic shapes of flowers , I want to create a series of different garments transforming the human body into an new creature consisting of flowers genitals. By creating them I would like to give an different options of how humans could reproduce themselves and also play with body and explore the unthinkable.

I went today to the Tim walker's exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum and was really inspired by some of his pictures, I really liked how he reworked and edited his pictures, also all of his decors and set design for the pictures. I also had an huge admiration for people that have an very unique world and leave a 100 % in it.

for some personal reasons I needed to miss the assessment and travel back to Paris and then to Madrid, which meant that I needed to delay my assessment. But I continued searching during this week, and went to different exhibitions about flowers and also different botanical gardens. The flora in them was extraordinary and being so many diverse and exotic flowers, due to the hot climate in Spain. The exhibition I went to was taking place next to the museum el Prado. It was about old botanical drawing from different countries. I both a book at the end of the exhibition inter shop resume the work. The shapes of the drawings were so amazing that I decided to rework each page and create, using the whole book, an entire collection.
