Presented at Art Basel 2020 for the first time, this photograph depicts a silueta (silhouette) of flowers lying on a raft fashioned from cloth and branches and floating at the edge of a creek. Mendieta also recorded this work in moving image, and the film reveals that she then sent the figure downstream. This work is one of several in which the artist used flowers as material during the 1970s. Flower Person, Flower Body is newly printed by the Estate of Ana Mendieta.
