Agave

By strolling through Ozurgeti I realized that there was a big amount of Agaves growing everywhere, from sidewalks to people’s gardens. As I was looking for a motive with a connection to the local community, I decided to choose the Agave. The colors matched the surrounding architecture and I liked the idea of bringing more nature to the square, where the wall was situated. The reference picture was taken more than two years ago, at a friend’s garden in Barcelona. For me it’s a special, almost spiritual, being, with a very interesting life and reproduction cycle. It’s one of my favorite plants and I even keep one at my home in Leipzig.
