“Destino de Flor” was born in silence.
It was born from watching a flower at the very moment it opens, unaware of how much time it has left.
Every flower unfolds with complete trust. It holds nothing back. It offers its color, its shape, its fragrance as if beauty could last forever. And yet, at the very heart of its blooming, the falling is already present.
I tried to listen to that brief breath.
The fragile moment when life reaches its peak and, precisely because of that, begins to dissolve.
Di Sarli’s melodies accompanied me like a melancholy caress: sweet, profound, never shouted. In that sound there is a quiet dignity, the same one I recognize in flowers when, one by one, they let their petals fall.
It is not a story of loss.
It is a story of fulfillment.
The flower falls, but first it has bloomed.
And in that instant of full opening, it has known everything.
