BRING ME 
FLOWERS

2023NS PRODUCT
materials: Reused plastic wraps
Project “Bring me flowers” aims to bring the spotlight to the damage that consuming plastic-wrapped flowers does to the environment. The project involves making people aware that a bouquet of flowers dies in five days, but the plastic it’s wrapped in stays there practically forever. While we try to honor the dead with flowers, we hurt and drain the world the living have yet to experience and need to survive.By changing our bad habits and facing that our traditions are outdated, we can help preserve and improve the state of the ecology of our world. 



 Plastic waste is a global concern, demanding reduced usage. Within our culture, beautifully wrapped flowers symbolize respect and affection, notably towards the departed. However, this tradition has contributed to environmental issues. Raising awareness about the ecological impact is crucial for our future. 
Our project centered on Tbilisi, Georgia, where honoring the deceased holds profound significance, shedding light on the potential harm of gifting flowers. Through our exploration of Tbilisi’s graveyards, we gathered discarded plastic flower wrappings left by visitors, uncovering the alarming pollution within these sacred spaces. After meticulously cleaning the plastic, we breathed new life into it by crafting flowers. These plastic blooms serve as a powerful symbol, reprsenting the superficial nature of the tradition of presenting platic-wrapped flowers at gravesites.


Assembling flowers from bouquet: By showcasing our display in bustling city streets, we underscore the unnaturalness of plastic flowers and their lack of harmony with the urban environment. Throughout this project, we have encountered the challenges of ecological welfare, revealing the alarming truth behind the beautifully wrapped flowers and well-intentioned gestures. Our goal is to raise awareness, prompt a change in behavior, and encourage active participation in the fight against plastics. Ro PLASTIC PRIZE 2023
