The "Edelweiss" or "snow flower" is the national flower of Austria. It grows high in the mountains of the Alps and is characterized by its strange shape and its white color, which has sometimes been appropriated by far-right groups as a symbol of purity.
The Ottakring neighborhood, in the city of Vienna, is a neighborhood known for its cultural diversity, where people, aromas and colors from different parts of the world coexist. The "Edelweiss" flowers that I made in this neighborhood contain shades of gray ranging from black to white, blooming as a symbol of transformation, anti-racism, mixture and coexistence.
