FEATURING
PIERRE-RICHARD "PYELILA" RAPHAEL
[LANMOU]
Pyelila’s LANMOU series features plants and their love languages. “I’ve always imagined that plants have relationships amongst themselves. Whether it be amicable, romantic or familial. Each time I look at them, I always imagine how they must interact and how they decide to get along in order to survive if they were animated.
I created this illustration series to show how I see them in my mind. I’ve depicted them in various types of love.”
