Chemistry magic with poppy petals: the colour of the dye vs the colour of the dyed.
#PlantDyes

I'll kick off this account by sharing a few recent #artworks. This piece is from a series that reflects on the #loss of our world and what may emerge from the ruins:
LOSS فقد — #PlantDyes, gold leaf and cut paper, 50x50 cm.
It was assembled a year ago (see last pic for fresh hues) and left exposed to sunlight: the fragile plant colours become muted and fade, but the genuine gold of the seed-like dots will endure and stand out all the more.
