In writing a short essay on appreciating flowers in Singapore, we found that our encounters were often defined by absence. Their brief moments of blooming were easy to miss — we arrived almost always too early or too late.
The Flowers That Never Bloomed is a set of three bookmarks conceived from that absence. Each is a floral silhouette, 3D printed as a thin surface layer — close to the language of paper, close to the language of illustration. Thin enough to slip between pages without thought.
They are intentionally larger than a typical bookmark, designed to extend beyond the edges of a book. The book becomes a vessel. The flowers bloom from the pages instead.
A set of three, in translucent PLA.
