The Art Of Madame Gina’s Private Flower Garden
“But the answer’s no, because I already have a bet going here. I bet myself that if a certain man ever comes to visit when I’m in my garden, we’ll fall in love. But the fool only comes to the restaurant at night. He never emerges in the daylight. Stupid… He left without landing. I lost the bet again.”

Birds Painted on Pharmaceutical Packaging by Sara Landeta
Madrid-based artist Sara Landeta is using an unexpected canvas for her paintings… unfolded pharmaceutical boxes!
Titled Medicine as Metaphor (referring to Susan Sontag’s ‘illness as metaphor’ writings), Landeta paints the animal often associated with freedom — the bird — onto these boxes, creatively drawing parallels to medicines holding patients in captivity.
“This juxtaposition of the natural and synthetic interprets the patient as a captive animal, and the bird as its metaphor,” explains Landeta. See her works up close here.
“— these were the obvious items in her list of beloved things.”
