The box of flowers is scented with Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh.

 

This box is filled with paper flowers in a cardboard box. The flowers are white, yellow and pink. On the box, there is the address of Parsons Paris, and also written is “No return address” and the word “Fragile” scratched off.

At first, the plan was to do a drapery of paper flowers going from all white to color, but then was inspired by Felix Gonzales Torres, and decided to take the pile of flowers and thought it would be more interesting that way.

I wanted to show the aspect of Vaiva in which she left everything back in Lithuania to come here. She came with very few items. Her perfume is kind of her identity so the flowers are the same as you see on the perfume bottle. It is a surprise to come and smell paper flowers and find a scent.

The flowers are supposed to be fragile, but the word “Fragile” is scratched off the show that Vaiva may seem fragile but is tougher then she looks.

“No return address” is to show that she left everything to come here and put everything on the line to come to Paris.

The flowers are majority white because Vaiva is very private. The colored flowers represent the few things we know about her. Those are also spilled as if they were the ones on the top and are “unpacked”, as she is still unpacking her life here in Paris.
