Creciendo, Tulipanes (Growing, Tulips)
Where do flowers go after we bury them? Creciendo, Tulipanes is a multimedia installation where poetry, bookmaking, ceramics, music, and print integrate into one experience. Through the extended metaphor of the tulip, Renée explores the themes of love, death, and grief. The result is a place where the reddest red resounds and aerial views ache, far away from the Pacific. Where the letter r does not exist in the alphabet, where music accompanies pain, where a vase can hold something that is not there. It is the search for a representation made out of many pieces, all stemming from different puzzles and different petals. What the designer/ artist wishes to create is, more than a product, an atmosphere, a way to understand feelings, not with logic, but rather with the senses, through what is not tangible —presence and absence play the same part. BOOK
Where do flowers go after we bury them? Growing, Tulips by Renée Neme is a poetic record where love, heartbreak, plant life, and death drive merge into one. It is the place where the reddest red resounds and an aerial view aches, far away from the Pacific. It is the search for an image that endures. The exploration of a mind that creates, sings, and seeks.
