Mapplethorpe Reimagined with Legos: Orchid Bouquet

Project: Mapplethorpe Reimagined with Legos

Added on April 11, 2025

Part of the Mapplethorpe Reimagined series, this black-and-white image features a Lego Orchid Bouquet transformed into a sculptural still life. Inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe’s mastery of light and shadow, the composition highlights the delicate curves and layered petals of the Lego orchids, casting dramatic shadows that add depth and abstraction. The interplay of light, form, and negative space blurs the line between artificial and organic, reimagining a playful material as fine art. This piece invites reflection on the beauty of design, nature, and the unexpected poetry found in everyday objects.
