Originally the idea was to decorate myself with flowers, or petals, and wrap myself in cellophane like a giant bouquet. Instead, I decided to cover myself with these silk petals, sticking each one onto my skin with a glue stick. I thought I might adorn more of my body, but went with just covering my chest and torso, as it looked more organic.
