My project is to build a group of female characters as personifications of flowers and present each character in an illustration. I am using flower language, floral symbolism in stories, myth and folklore as well as physical attributes such as hardiness and culinary usage to create each illustration.

My research focuses on how I can use visual elements to convey this literary context. I aim to create a book of illustrations that when viewed together, portray the variety of person a woman can be and subverts the connection that femininity has with flowers and domesticity.
