My inspiration was drawn from one of the largest, solitary, parasitic fleshy flowers in the world: the Rafflesia Arnoldii.
I'm inspired mostly by its different textures, the dark red spongy-like petals and red to orange inner dendrites which make me want to touch and feel them. I like the fact that it opens and closes like it had 5 blankets that were embracing you and the way color defines its different states of being: red - alive and black - dead.
