Artist Statement:
La Florista honors the resilience of Peruvian Andean women who gather flowers at dawn, carrying them in woven mantas to sell in markets and city streets. More than an industry, floriculture is a lifeline rooted in tradition, with each blossom reflecting a deep bond with the land. This piece celebrates these women's strength and the beauty they bring to their communities.
