Resurrection Rose

Marianne cut, folded, twisted, braided, draped and shaped more than a thousand pieces of paper to form a flaming rose-like blossom, a symbol of resurrection and beginning of life. The transformation links the paper to its source, the tree. Created for the Homo Faber exhibition held in Venice in 2018, this monumental flower was originally known as “Rising Medusa Rose”.
