This artwork is a photographic archival silver-based C-type print with white border, part of an edition featuring the voluptuous Iris germanica 'Cherub's Smile'.
With its soft pink, pastel colours, and the almost angelic appearance of its flower, this Iris could be thought to resemble the innocent associated with cherubs.
The term "cherub" refers to a type of angelic figure in art, often depicted as a sweet, youthful character. Still, this flower’s bloom, intense and fleeting, reflects the paradoxical nature of lust itself — an intoxicating desire that burns brightly, beautifully yet perilous.
"Once, I saw a bee drown in honey, and I understood."
— Nikos Kazantzakis
