This photo series documents one of the oldest historical spots in Bucharest essential for the Romanian cultural patrimony and history: Coșbuc FlowerMarket on Calea Rahovei Street. The artist is focusing specifically on male flower sellers as their macho look contrasts with the sensitive craft of floristry. Even though they are showing off a blustering bravado, becoming friends with them she discovered under this manly harness, emotions resonating with the bouquets sold. This documentary highlights the complexity of human kind and the redundancy of gender norms.
