Ornella, meaning “flowering ash tree,” takes its inspiration from a character created by Gabriele d'Annunzio in his 1904 play The Daughter of Iorio, where she embodies beauty and grace. This artwork echoes that spirit of delicacy and natural elegance. Created using pressed flowers and captured through a photographic printing process known as cyanotype, the piece uses light to imprint the image, preserving both form and fragility in a luminous, timeless composition.
