New Orleans Bouquet
This series is a visual love letter to New Orleans. It is a new project started over the 2025 summer, that I have been thinking about for a long time. The work features bouquets of mostly locally grown flowers and plants surrounding historical and cultural elements of New Orleans. The arrangements are designed and constructed by RHR. often in collaboration with horticulturalist Rob Joy.
