At Montefiore New Rochelle, the healing properties of flower power are on display in The Queen City Art Gallery’s newest summer exhibit, Hannah Jupiter’s “The Joy of Flowers.”
Jupiter’s collection features “flower arrangements” constructed from a multitude of materials, from vintage gardening books to wrapping paper. The physical collages are often finished with resin or enlarged through digital means to amp up the level of drama. The collection’s title, “The Joy of Flowers,” pulls its name from “Simchah,” a Hebrew word for joy, happiness and celebration.
“The pieces in the collection allow you, the viewer, a chance to take a moment to pause and reflect. To appreciate not only the work itself, but your connection to the beauty and completeness of the flowers and one’s self,” said Jupiter.
