Fleurop - Interflora World Cup Berlin Day 2 by Mehmet Yilmaz

The Bouquet should show and express only one thing and regardless: “Dynamic”. The Word is meaning an energy, which is going in a direction. Unique is the position of the handle, straight on in the streaming of the flowers and stems. The handle is not !!! ending in an angle, to reach a ´straight up directed standing vase . No, the vase is designed and build to help the bouquet to look even more dynamic. The bouquet in its form is a body language speaking, “I want to fly, want to go on, shoot away” To represent the person it is dedicated too. Title; "Dynamic and in the Air like Tina"

“Tina Turner”, When she was on stage at 35 years old, people asked her:  " for how much longer do you see yourself doing this? She answered: "I have just started !" ... The most dynamic Soulsinger and more in the World of modern Music . The bouquet should repeat and represents her dynamism .That is the message

My Experience with the organic Techniques is a fundamental Law in our  workrooms and Shop . We are since many Years as much as possible far away from  all Accessories , with a an organic Wellspring . Works with Floral Structures are a daily done Practice .

But this is now a very  strong Challenge , to avoid any Iron ... to speak Wire from the Worktable....... Wire is an essential and Basic and traditionally  used Medium  of Tecnique . But Binding with Leather , Avoiding Leeks in the Containers . To find organic Watertubes ., to fix them naturally  on a Structure ..... and than the Hassle with Hights and all the Weight .... to bent Woodforms with Water and  Stones , like the Inventors  of the Thonetchaires . No , it wars not easy . I am grateful , that i had so many FRiends here and abroad , who could help me , with the pure organic Construccion material . Some Colleagues might have Problems with the "Bringing -in -in the - Country .... organic means Things , which actually had a life before ...Plant Animal ???

What did i do .

The hands are melted in a Form , done with Beewax . In this Substance little schreddered Pieces of Raffia ... to make it more  rougher looking . The Hands represent the Reaching out for Freedom ..

Walls are often hindering the Life in Freedom .... and so i did the Wall out of a wooden panel , cutted in the right direction , and bend it with Water influence   and heavy Stones ... to create that Movement ,which is already a first Signe of Hope .

Than is the Wallpart wrapped with coriegated Paper , to become thick . Wrapping it tight together with real Leather strings ..... all this after wards painted with Clay . .....the Tubes are a tropical Fruit/ Seedcapsula  / Seed head  of Asia . , placed with organic Sticks .

The Bassin , with the floating Waterplants : Lemna aquatica is  built  out of pure Wood ,, hammered together with round Sticks , in Holes , like the old Carpenters did . All this making a not leeking Container with the Beewax .

Judges and Organizers ... take your Installations to check the metal Substance ..... bite in it , scratch it somehow apart : You will not find any" Anorganic "    ..... i did my real Best on that Subject .
