Metal Petal

This photograph captures the magic of Floralis Generica, a monumental sculpture in the heart of Buenos Aires. Once, this metallic flower, designed by architect Eduardo Catalano, would open its 23-meter petals each morning, symbolizing the rebirth of hope, and close at sunset, emitting a soft glow. Today, unfortunately, the mechanism no longer functions, but the sculpture remains a majestic symbol of the city​.

This image not only showcases the architectural beauty but also the emotional power of this place. Floralis Generica, surrounded by greenery and a reflecting pool in the Plaza de las Naciones Unidas, continues to inspire and captivate with its still grandeur. Let this photograph bring a piece of Buenos Aires' history and art into your home, reminding you of the beauty and strength of nature and human creativity​.
