Chasing Le Fleur Perdu

"Chasing Le Fleur Perdu" captures the enigmatic pursuit of beauty and meaning, wrapped in layers of history and mystery. While the Fleur-de-Lys is widely believed to symbolize lilies, it is, in fact, inspired by the iris flower—a detail that deepens the connection between the irises in the bottle and the ancient symbol of French royalty.

The bottle of wine serves as an unconventional vase, holding regal irises whose shape and elegance echo the Fleur-de-Lys. Above them, a surreal butterfly, part-mechanical and part-spy, approaches—its camera-like eyes and mechanical leg hinting at a search for secrets long lost.

Through this dreamlike composition, the artwork becomes a meditation on forgotten symbols, hidden truths, and the ephemeral nature of beauty. It invites viewers to question what is sought, what is remembered, and what remains just out of reach.
