Bodega Bouquets

Buying flowers at the bodega is one of New York City's unsung small luxuries, and it had even more significance during the Covid-19 Pandemic lockdown when we were all so focused on making sure we had basic necessities. With this ongoing series of cheap bodega-bought flowers that I styled with plastic bags, I wanted to create something beyond the bouquets' literal circumstances. I think of them as a humble symbol of hope.
