Used filters from cigarette butts that William Amor collected in the streets of Paris are transformed into a beautiful mimosa. William works primarily with recycled materials, transforming pollutants into exceptional floral works. The sanitised and cleaned fibres of the cigarette butts are extracted with a blade and mounted on rods. Each stem is then fixed with a jewel-like precision on a preserved eucalyptus stem, to form a mimosa flower.
