Sunflower means “connected with the sun.”

The sunflower grows toward sunlight. This is because it seeks maximum ray exposure.

I was really taken in by this fun fact and it why I was intrigued to choose the sunflower as my object in nature. When I think about a plant can move toward their energy source. I feel like this is a metaphor for how we evolve and grow.

Another enjoyable aspect of the sunflower is the seeds. They are edible and are often roasted, salted, and enjoyed as a snack.

The sunflower is a symbol for harvest and this dips into a variety of different cultural backgrounds. For example, September 27^th is the Mid Autumn Festival in the Chinese tradition and here in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving on October 12^th.

The sunflower is aesthetically appealing and generates confidence and creativity. The colours of the orangish/yellowish petals signify vitality and intelligence.
