DRAGONFLY - ZOOLOGIST

Giant lotus pads separate to make way for buds that pierce the surface of the jade green pond. They raise their faces to the sun, their delicate perfume floating around them. In the shade of the flowers, tiny dragonfly nymphs also emerge from the shallows. They spread their fragile wings and take off timidly, ready to explore a world beyond the water. The shimmering pools of the nearby golden rice fields call dragonflies. Their long shaky bodies flutter on the cascading terraces to rest on rods that swing, flickering with sunlight captured in droplets on iridescent wings.

Like a lotus unfurling its petals, Zoologist Dragonfly opens on a rush of beautiful aquatic flowers. Notes of rice, powdered iris and mimosa diffuse in a lush shroud of greenery, under the intimate aroma of an imminent summer shower. Dragonfly sums up the richness and romanticism of Impressionism, a canvas of flowers under a watery veil.
