These floral pieces were created by adhering paper strips only to each other, without gluing them down to a backing material.

To showcase these unmounted floral works innovatively, they were framed using a unique approach. Each piece is delicately sandwiched between two layers of Museum Glass, elevated from the back mat with additional spacers to achieve a subtle floating effect.
