put me in a field with daisies (they love me/they love me not)

acrylic on wall
In this work the artist Sarah Valérie Steiner confronts herself and the audience with how we make decisions. The walls of the meeting room are painted with images that represent decisions, as big and small as they may be. A traditional meeting room is changed by colours, flowers, joy and play, things that often don’t have space in our traditional world of decisions and power.
The audience is invited to take a flower from the table and use it to make a decision they are currently confronted with, using the game kids often play. With every petal that gets plucked alternating questions are asked, do they love me, do they love me not. The last petal represents the answer to any question that might be asked.
