Statement:

Flowers belong to every memory, and the soil of each recollection is rich with their constant and renewed presence.

Flowers with every withering, promise to bloom again continue to grow and endure in Rayka Milanian’s works, their forms softened and details fading, yet still blossoming across vases, fields, and even women’s faces. ///

The flowers in the “Again” series disregard Saadi’s verse: “The lifes of a flower lasts five or six days.”

These flowers, through different periods and a symbolic lens, depict frames from the artist’s life intertwined with her moments of fading and renewal.

“Again” is an invitation to a new gaze, a hopeful call toward rebirth.
