The Michael Aram White Orchid collection illuminates the ethereal spirit of the orchid flower. Evocative of purity, delicacy, femininity, and grace, the white metal version offers a strikingly different appeal than its black counterpart. While the sculpture is just as exuberant and detailed, in white, these flowers take on a simplicity that is completely unique. There is a sense of lightness, freshness, and even innocence - each petal seemingly untouched and pure. Orchids naturally emit a sense of sensuality and seductiveness, but in white nickel, they take on a completely different meaning - an element of brightness that I associate with new beginnings. When I think of White Orchid, I imagine the purity and sweetness of a newborn child or a newlywed couple at the beginning of their lifelong journey.
