In PLEEESE, Rafael Silveira conjures a surreal hymn to the natural world—a portrait of flowers not as botanical specimens, but as characters in full bloom. Towering like sentinels in a mythic landscape, the oversized petals tilt and stretch with theatrical flair, their silky folds rendered in candy-toned hues that verge on the hallucinatory.
Set against misty mountains and a serene sky, these flora are impossibly alive—too vivid, too poised—like actors frozen mid-monologue. Their exaggerated presence evokes both innocence and sensuality, reminding us of nature’s quiet strangeness when seen through altered eyes. With their roots grounded in rich, velvety soil and their heads brushing the heavens, they suggest a world where the emotional lives of flowers are just as rich as our own—silent, yet imploring: pleeeese, they seem to say, see us for what we are.
