The project Flowers of the Arctic

3. The project "Flowers of the Arctic"

One might think that northern nature lacksbrightness and diversity, but stunning views of the Russian North are dazzling.

The northern area of high latitudes is the Arctic deserts. These include a considerable part of the island Arctic territories. The basis of the landscape in this area is snow, ice and stone placer. Flora species here are few in number and grow in places sheltered from cold winds. It is easy to remember the names of the flowers growing in the Arctic region: Alpine foxtail, Saxifrage snowy, Arctic buttercup, Arctic pike, Arctic poppy, Sow thistle, Bluegrass, Nibs, Starlet, Polar willow. One of the features of this uncomfortable but beautiful and economically promising area is the abundance of rare and endemic plants, combined with the extremely weak resistance of its ecosystems to the external influence.

This inspired us to create the idea, or the legend called “Flowers of the Arctic”. We chose endemic plants of the Arctic and developed the characters personifying each of the flowers. Our objects are bearers of the concept which consists in attracting attention to the world of the Arctic so that you can feel involved in the conservation of nature ...

The main goal of the project is to show the ways in which diverse and unique Arctic flora can be expressed through design, calling for the preservation of its natural heritage.

The most beautiful things are usually small in size. Take the flower - it seems so ordinary, simple, so familiar in color and shape of the petals, but inside is the whole life that it lived, meeting the dawn, sunset, wind and northern lights.

And it is we who are lost in the big world, deep in mundaneness and the vast sea of information. It is we who keep inside the beauty of a human nature. This project is our attempt to combine the richness of the human inner world and the priceless nature of the Arctic.
