If there were no change in bodies, no variety in matter, and no vicissitude in beings, there would be nothing agreeable, nothing good, nothing pleasant. Pleasure and satisfaction consist in nothing else but a certain passage, progress, or motion from one state to another.”  - Giordano Bruno, Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast

I was influenced by the likes of Victor Horta when drawing this work due to a recent visit to Brussels.  This too was influenced by visits to the London Aquarium and Kew Gardens.  Instead of using the typical flora of art nouveau to express change and motion, I opted for more surreal plants I saw in the aquarium and conservatories at Kew.
