Adornment of Devotion

Year: 2025

Material: Pipe cleaners, wire, floral tape, velvet headband

Lily as symbol: From a green velvet headband rises a floral structure of pipe cleaners, wire, and floral tape – stylized lilies in vibrant red and deep violet.

Red: the color of blood, love, sacrifice.
Violet: of repentance, royalty, transformation.

In liturgy, they mark feast and fasting, ecstasy and introspection – united in a single flower long associated with purity, grace, and transcendence.

The lily – emblem of the Virgin Mary, yet also a sign of feminine power and ceremonial display.

A headpiece poised between devotion and defiance.
