Marigold Premier
The ink sketch of Marigold was drawn by Melissa on 10 April 2011, when she collaborated with a French writer, Virginie Kasse, for the book ‘Les Papillons des Victor’. The choice of this botanical object was due to the layering symbols of marigold in different cultures. Marigold symbolizes creativity, passion, and also fragility. There are layers of self-disrespect in many makers of artwork in Indonesia, for there are seldom public appreciations towards art and fair infrastructure in the creative industry. This sense is contrary to what was done by the Indonesian ancestors from Ancient Mataram.
