They've exhibited across the world and have worked on projects with LVMH, Google, Nike, Apple, Tate Modern, Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and The New York Times.
What’s the title of your art piece?
Growing Awareness
What’s the meaning/thinking behind your art piece?
We wanted to do something that combined nature and humanity to act as a symbol of our interconnectedness. We arrived at this image of a flower with an eye at its centre, the design of the iris repeated and fanning out to create the final form. The underlying message is that through our collective and expanding awareness, we can start to have a positive impact on the planet.
