Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Vanessa Lyu

Vanessa Lyu turns flowers into stitched-together hybrids, using petals, threads and delicate grafts to explore themes of fragility, pressure and emotional repair.Photographer Cheuk Lun Lo, working alongside floral artist Lyu, developed a body of work that transforms botanical elements into emotionally charged constructions where flowers cease to function as decorative objects and instead become carriers of tension and introspection.The unique pieces in this series look like blooms caught between collapse and reconstruction.Petals are sutured with coarse cotton thread, forming visible seams that hint at wounds, healing and the effort of holding oneself together.In the series Adagio, a Deformed Comfort, petals are physically altered through stitching, grafting, and careful manipulation, producing hybrid forms that appear suspended between breakdown and repair.The visible seams, often made with coarse thread, introduce a tactile language of interruption, suggesting that fragility is not simply an inherent quality of organic matter but something shaped, reinforced, and negotiated through intervention.More of Vanessa Lyu’s art can be found at https://www.behance.net/vanessa921bc3bvb and designswan.
