Artbay Gallery - Sally Bulling – "Buy Your Own Damn Flowers: Petals & Reflections".
Location: Artbay Gallery
Region: Queenstown
Dates: Thu, 27 March 2025 - Mon, 14 April 2025 @ 11am - 5pm Daily
Flowers are both a gift and a gesture—a fleeting promise of love, devotion, or remembrance. They mark celebrations, apologies, beginnings, and endings. But why should beauty, tenderness, and love be something we wait to receive?
Buy Your Own Damn Flowers: Petals & Reflections is an exploration of autonomy, longing, and the quiet rebellion of choosing yourself. It is a tribute to self-love— the kind that blooms without permission and refuses to wilt.
These mirrored blooms never fade, yet their fragility remains. They catch the light and gaze back at us, turning admiration into introspection. This collection is both delicate and defiant. The fleeting nature of petals mirrors love’s impermanence— soft whispers of affection, words left unspoken, promises that linger. The reflective surfaces challenge notions of giving and receiving, asking us to reconsider love not as something bestowed, but as something owned. Boldly. Unapologetically.
At its core, Petals & Reflections asks: Do we measure love by what is given, or by what we take for ourselves? Are promises as fragile as petals, or do they, like roots beneath the surface, endure unseen?
