In Montreal, flowers lined the terrace of a restaurant. I found them so beautiful that I photographed them in extreme close-up.

Five years later, I came across those flowers again. A woman appeared among them. She wore a floral headdress.

She said to me:

“You are a flower woman. I give you this crown. Be our ambassador. Your sensitivity is your strength.”

It took me five years to receive her message.
