From being gifted to loved ones to being a fresh piece in someone’s decorations, orchids have been seen as a symbol of love, thoughtfulness, purity, charm, and fertility. We see them grow in gardens, buy them from shops, or wear them as perfume, and with being one of the most popular flowers in our history, they are a delight. From the fresh, light flowery scent, to the bright and vibrant colors, orchids have been incorporated in any and every art form, whether it be as a decorative piece, patterns, makeup, etc. Over the summer, the growth of orchids became popular in nail art as well as the cover album artwork of Kali Uchis’ new release ‘ORQUÍDEAS’, both inspired this dreamy, soft shoot. Now, I present to you, ORCHIDIA.
