“Perfect Flower” is a collective inquiry into “Safety for Women, Girls, and Gender-Diverse People in Public Spaces.” The project was shaped by a team of queer and gender ambiguous people including young participants, who collaborated with a multidisciplinary group of architects, a choreographer, a writer, a photographer, and youth workers.

The creative process began with the idea that over 90% of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, possessing both male and female reproductive organs. These are termed “perfect flowers” by biologists. This concept inspired us to approach public spaces with the perspective that the world itself is queer. We reframed the narrative, placing queer and gender-diverse individuals and their lived experiences at the center of our exploration. By positioning ourselves alongside plant life rather than above it, we focused on the interconnectedness between humans, plants, and animals.
