Julie Vallon had always been interested in the relationship between flowers and humans and the symbolism of flowers. They are yet political and religious but also romantic - and still always ephemeral. In Flora Synthetica Vallon showcases 32 flowers that are entirely imagined by her. The flowers have been created by cutting, collaging and assembling and we could easily imagine these new botanical creations actually exist.

Julie Vallon has always been interested in the relationship between flowers, men and symbolism. Flowers have always conveyed political, religious or romantic ideas but all are ephemeral. In Flora Synthetica, Julie Vallon presents 32 entirely imagined eternal flowers created by cutting, collage and assembly. The breathtakingly realistic result invents a new herbarium, a new botany 2.0, a new relationship to reality and imagination.
