"Only flowers" is the artist's understatement, a play with words, reflecting on her tackling of sculpted relief, painting and graffiti, to hide the blatant, beautiful but also scary head masked as a giant sunflower. The flower is a golden face, resembling the sun and a carnival mask, and the same time, a human skull.
The vivid yellow of the flower and the golden face conveys pulsating energy, attracting the gauze, while the skull-like eyes carry an eerie, uncanny touch. The "sunflower" attracts and repulses at the same time, as a hint at mankind's demand for what is an illusion of beauty, perfection, youth, and immortality.
