African Iris #2, 2023

4. Flower By Alessandra Chaves


The African iris, a captivating perennial native to South Africa, serves as a poignant illustration of impermanence. Its exquisite, short-lived blooms and the eventual decline of its once-sturdy leaves emphasize the transient nature of all things. This constant cycle of growth and decay reminds us that change is an intrinsic part of life. In many African cultures, the African iris symbolizes purification and renewal, reinforcing the idea of impermanence. This graceful plant encourages us to appreciate the present moment and acknowledge that, just as its blooms and leaves come and go, so do our experiences and emotions in a world where impermanence is the only constant.
