This artobject is part of ‘BLOOMTABLE: Nature in Motion’:

A Venus flytrap with a fly caught in the center. The powerful green tones and deep red highlights make the trap even more menacing. When the table is in position 2, the trap slowly closes. In the third and highest position, the fly has disappeared, devoured by the carnivorous plant. The intense colors enhance the tension of this natural hunt.

This series of five artworks transforms a second-hand side table into an interactive tribute to nature. In its lowest position, the table serves as a functional piece of furniture. But in different positions, it reveals a deeper meaning—showcasing the delicate beauty of flowers and the relentless hunt of the Venus flytrap.

Each piece is painted in bold, vibrant colors, making the flowers, insects, and movements come to life. The intense hues amplify the energy of nature: the deep blue of the asters, the radiant yellow of the sunflower, and the striking purple of the asters create a dazzling explosion of contrast and color.

By combining recycled materials, vivid colors, and an interactive design, this artwork invites the viewer to explore the fragile balance of nature—sometimes harmonious, sometimes ruthless, but always vibrant and full of energy.
