Florilegium

Flo·ri·le·gi·um: (noun) a gathering of flowers

The word Florilegium has meant different things to different people at different times. Borrowed from the Latin adjective florilegus, meaning “flower-gathering,” it has been used to designate books of botanical illustrations, collections of literary extracts, and anthologies. The first (and only) attestation of the root word comes from Latin poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses where he describes the flower-gathering bees that are born from the buried bodies of sacrificial bulls. Life from death. Growth from decay.

The album Florilegium is a celebration of multiplicity. From the multiple meanings of the word to all of the multitudes we contain and are afraid to acknowledge. A rejection of the command to choose a perspective or stay in a lane. An appreciation of the complexity within and around us. An invitation to be surprised by the contradictions and cycles that make life rich. Spring is always spring, but no two springs are the same
