GRAPHIC NOVEL - Flowers don't talk

For several years, the work of Natacha Birds has focused on a particular motif: flowers. Multiple and plural allegories, they inhabit his spirit as much as his creations. From the lines she draws with her brush, she draws flowers in which women's bodies mingle. Flower women. The flowers like the bodies dance before our eyes until they merge. One inside the other, one with the other. Hybrid. In this graphic novel, her first, she tells the story of a woman who, disappointed and frightened by the darkness of everyday life, turns into a flower. Then begins for her an initiatory journey in which she will discover love, compassion, but also the pain, the lack, and the violence of a world that treats flowers well below their fair value. Adventures and colorful characters mingle over the pages to push the heroine into a spiral of destruction. A superb graphic novel, a window opening onto a dreamlike world, which raises questions about our society and the place it reserves for art and poetry.
