Its red glow evokes passion and tenderness, the passing of the moment and the intensity of life.

In its symbolism, the poppy stands for dream and stillness, for transience and remembrance.

It grows in unexpected places, on barren soil and by the wayside, and thus becomes a symbol of silent strength.

Whether in painting, poetry or photography – the poppy embodies nature’s quiet language: a red sign of both tenderness and permanence.
