Pétala, a print magazine, revolves around various intriguing interpretations of the floral. Studio Saudari invited a bunch of insightful individuals to explore the theme of flowering and what it signifies within their lives and current situation.
Flowers adorn our landscapes. They praise the start of abundant seasons and wither with the necessary passage of time. They stand witness to those marked moments within our lives – celebrations, funerals, births – and pass from hand to hand as a gift of beauty.
During these bizarre and saddening times of lockdowns and losses, we find ourselves relishing in what nature gives us.
