Hippies, they are also "children of flowers", to this day are considered the most famous pacifists and defenders of all life on earth. And although this culture is no longer as popular as it was two or three decades ago, many young men and women of that time still remember the past with longing. I think the anti-war art project "Flower power", which translates as "the power of flowers", comes from there.
The author of an unusual project is 45-year-old designer Brigitte Vanzonhoven from the Belgian design studio Montagna Lunga. They believe that in the modern world there is too much evil, hatred and aggression, and kind words and smiles are worth their weight in gold. If you want peace, get ready for war, says the well-known proverb. Well, the pacifist designer decided to prepare for it - only in her own way, in the original style.
“Terrorism reigns in the world and wars do not stop, explosions and gunfire are thundering, houses are crumbling, people are dying, children are left orphans … I don’t want such a life for my children and grandchildren, the world should become kinder and brighter,” says Brigitta Vanzonhoven. The Flower Power art project has become her personal contribution to the future that she dreams of leaving to her descendants.
