Disquietude - Blue Sunflowers II Print

A longtime friend, whenever he swings back through Italy, makes it a point to swing by and break bread with me. We catch up every couple of years or so, and each time, he's got some fascinating tale to spin. Living off the fat of the land for ages now, having lost his folks early on, who, during their brief stint on this mortal coil, managed to amass quite the nest egg. Last time we crossed paths, he regaled me with a tale of spending about a month holed up in a shack, deep in the heart of a sunflower field in Romania. His theory? By constantly immersing himself in the sight of these plants, something was bound to give sooner or later. And give it did. After about a week, he found himself perpetually dreaming of vast expanses of sunflowers. But not your run-of-the-mill blooms, mind you. No, these petals were a striking shade of blue. Knowing I'd snapped some shots in a sunflower field some time back, he implored me to tweak the hue to match his dreams. I obliged, and in this snap, along with others from the same series, you can behold the result. I gifted my friend a large-scale print, which, he claims, now hangs right above his bed. Perhaps he seeks to keep dreaming of those blue sunflowers, even during those rare moments of repose in his own abode.
