One sticks out her tongue, the other wears an eye patch, echoing the artist’s ironic statement: “I’m turning a blind eye.”
The work is not about gender, but about authenticity and courage. One figure provokes, the other chooses not to see, and together they form a balance between tenderness and rebellion.
Their uniforms, symbols of authority and discipline, dissolve into the language of color and gesture, transforming into a metaphor for love that refuses to hide.
With Bloominglove, Böhmer celebrates emotional disobedience as a form of blooming, a declaration that love thrives precisely where it is not supposed to and that its power lies in the courage to be seen.
