Flowers For is a multimedia art and health project by Tucker Nichols. New elements are added regularly.
Sickness is present in most of our lives, and yet it can be a deeply isolating experience for everyone involved. But there’s something about flowers—even if they are garish or they make you sneeze or they are hardly noticed—that can occasionally poke a hole in the wall of isolation that separates sick people from their loved ones.
Flowers For is a collection of projects that looks at the potential for art to communicate some of what is so hard to put into words.
