During Covid, Schlegel developed an interest for flowers with the wish to magnify their ephemeral beauty, like a memento mori. Here, he chose the Tragopogon pratensis, commonly unnoticed along gravel roads, and also nicknamed "Jack Go to Bed at Noon" because it blooms in the early morning sun but shies away after midday. Its impressive seedhead is often blown onto in the hope to see one's wishes come true. Using a very thin transparent paper, he extended the life of the fragile flower for thousands of years by using the most archival printing technique: platinum, to which he added white gold to highlight the value of transience.
