La Flower Market by Mansur Gabriel is an American fashion brand founded in 2013 by Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gabriel. The duo explores the relationship between product and visual culture, centered on a clear aesthetic sense of color, material, and form. This work, set in the New York flower market where the duo are based, focuses not on the splendor of the flowers themselves but on peripheral elements such as the bouquets before they are displayed, their packaging, and the traces they leave on the floor. The photographs are matter-of-fact and restrained, and the repetition of color and shape quietly highlights the circulation of beauty and labor in the city. Resonating with the photographic history of still life and typology, this work transcends flowers as decoration and focuses on the "state" of flowers before they are selected and consumed. Standing at the border between design and photography, this book invites the viewer to consider how beauty is circulated and valued.
