The customers at market tell me that they can tell we put love into our work. The process makes me think about Diego Riveras series of flower sellers. According to art critics Rivera's intention was to emphasize a cast system. The workers sell flowers to the rich, reaping earnings that barely sustain them.
It's true today. It's true for me. Still, I feel like the lucky one to be among the mud and flowers. I don't mind the stains and cuts on my fingers. It gives me joy to build a beautiful bouquet; I hope it brings joy to the person that buys it.
