At the heart of this design is the rare Queen of the Night, a nocturnal flower from Mexico that blooms just once a year, wilting before dawn. Both dramatic and serene, Aura’s luminous blooms seem to emanate light, their delicate shadows fading into the distance. Created with white gouache on black card, the artwork captures the flower’s fleeting, otherworldly allure evoking the mystery of a nighttime garden. This print is part of the first chapter in this collection, Story Garden, which explores the narratives that are woven in and around cultivated botanical spaces, taking inspiration from historic pleasure grounds and wartime victory gardens - highlighting humanity’s necessity for community and finding solace through nature.
