Artist note:
'Two tulip heads being in love mirrored by the two onion bulbs finding love for each other as well. As above the ground, so below in the underground, the love exists on every physical level and every invisible dimension, spreading even higher above into Cosmos.
I came across the ancient phrase “as above, so below”. It captivated my curiosity and I knew there was a great meaning behind these words. With the origin of this phrase in Arabic coming from the Emerald Tablet, there can be a few but close interpretations. It suggests that what is happening in one realm of existence is also reflected in another. It describes that the microcosm mirrors the macrocosm, and what happens on a small scale will also take place on a large scale. Eternal interconnectedness.'
