Original artwork description:

The dandelion is linked to the idea of ​​detachment and travel. The seeds of this flower seem to perfectly represent the phases of the life cycle that each of us is destined to complete.

Initially the seeds are tied to the pappus, their soft appendix, and it seems they don't want to detach from it. Then slowly they let themselves be carried away by the wind, at first fearful, gradually more and more fearless, ready to embark on a new journey, to experience new adventures.

Having overcome the initial fear, they let themselves go to the flow of life, curious for new discoveries, ready to generate new life.

Their journey represents a perfect metaphor for the life of each of us: in order to flourish, each one must detach himself from his origin, facing his own journey without fear, ready to fight against the elements and to seize every opportunity.

Another meaning of the dandelion is represented by childhood and innocence.

In fact, it is above all children who blow on this flower, dispersing its seeds. In this case, the symbolism does not have a negative meaning, to indicate something that has been lost forever, but rather a positive connotation linked to the memory of a beautiful past and therefore, to the hope of an equally rosy future.

The shower head represents the joy and lightheartedness typical of childhood, which we must recover and rediscover in adulthood.

This flower has also always been linked to prosperity and luck. In the past, it was customary to add a dandelion to the bride's bouquet, in the belief that it would bring wealth and luck to the couple.

The dandelion cycle also represented the alternation between day and night, sun and moon. Initially, the dandelion is yellow and golden, just like the sun. Later it turns into a white sphere similar to the moon ball.

Finally, magical powers have been attributed to the dandelion. It was believed that it was able to increase the psychic capacity of people.

It was also believed that by rubbing this flower on itself, it allowed it to be accepted and well-liked by everyone. Witches also implemented this practice, rubbing their bodies with a dandelion, in order to be accepted by people.

But above all, the dandelion was considered a sort of bridge able to connect with the spirits of the afterlife.
