The word florilégio comes from the Latin florilegium, formed by flos, meaning “flower”, and legere, meaning “to gather” or “to choose”. Literally, it means a collection of chosen flowers, although, in a figurative sense, it means an anthology, collection or compilation of selected passages from literary, artistic or scientific works.

This is a personal collection that dialogues with the whole path proposed by the lab by using the language of plants to compile artistic expressions and make scientific knowledge public.

The collection consists of three 20cm circular bamboo embroidery hoops, featuring embroidery on unbleached cotton fabric.
