Tulips and other stuff

Fleeting Opulence project juxtaposes the lush floral arrangements of the Baroque era with contemporary consumerism. The images evoke 17th-century still lifes, symbolizing wealth and transience. This project critiques modern society’s obsession with materialism and ephemeral beauty, drawing parallels to historical vanitas paintings that warned against vanity and excess. It invites reflection on our cultural priorities, urging a deeper appreciation for lasting values over fleeting splendor.
