Dagmar Krøyer:

Practical beautification

Plants with embroidery
(euphemisms)
2012

Text on the plant inside:
NOT MOTIVATED
CHALLENGE

Text on the plant outside:
LAZY
PROBLEM

Plants in the window are supposed to decorate, but the plants in the installation are further embellished by embroidery on the leaves.

On the leaves you can read examples of euphemisms - in other words linguistic embellishments - wich make difficult themes more easy to take in.

It may be useful to talk about passing away in stead of to die and also it is more positive to have a challenge in stead of a problem.
