The title of this piece, Semper Augustus, is based on a tulip considered to be the most rare and valuable of all the high-end tulips during the 17th Century Dutch speculative craze known as “Tulip Mania.” A highly coveted flower, Semper Augustus’s unique pattern arose from a genetic defect known as a breaking virus. The rich, dark red streaks and flashes appearing on its petals serve as a powerful metaphor for what seemingly is considered an anomaly, is in fact a unique and singular expression.
