Mariluz was born at the end of the confinement, it was spring and she could finally get out.
This wild flower dares, through an intense orange ray, to show us a way out towards hope.
While its lighthouse clearly marks the way and invites you to follow it into an orange sky, its blade-shaped petals seem to give you that push towards optimism.
A beam of light and a ray of hope.
I am seduced and hypnotized by that bright blue dot that combines with its base’s soft pale blue colour.
It gives Mariluz authority and strengthens the dominance of her magic.
Its key-shaped switch recalls those toys that had to be wound up to bring them to life and softens its figure’s sharp shapes.
