Task 1: Symphony in Blooms

It is a tribute to the music of Antonin Dvorak, which is strong but elegant. This monument is called The New World - The New Wave.

What or who were your sources for inspiration for your ‘Symphony in Blooms’ creation and why?

I really like Antonin Dvorak’s music, it evokes very strong feelings. One of my sources of inspiration was the shape of the Europa Cup 2011 logo; it reflects his music very well.

Task 2: The Youngest City

How can we recognize the youngest city ‘Havirov’ in your arrangement? What effect do the Gerberas add to the creation?

From the innovative design of table; it is the logo of the Europa Cup competition which is a big event for Havirov. Gerberas make a strong shape and connect the flowers in the shape of the table.

How can we recognize your style in general? And how is this expressed in this creation?

My own style is more minimalist; in this work it is shown in the sculptural copper tubes and the form of the table, and my use of plant matter.
