Tray, David LaChapelle: Earth Laughs in Flowers

Vibrant flowers dance across the surface of this tray, featuring a reproduction of David LaChapelle’s 2012 photograph Wilting Gossip. But this is no ordinary decorative piece — the delicately coloured blooms and fragile petals form a lush bouquet of contradictions.

The scene pays homage to, and reimagines, the baroque vanitas tradition, part of LaChapelle’s celebrated series Earth Laughs in Flowers. Both decadent and sophisticated, the work evokes a sense of beauty that feels almost fragrant.
